After choosing your destination and buying your ticket, comes the time to pack your bags and decide what to take and what not to take with you. Notice that the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) prohibits certain items on board and in order to ensure a safe and comfortable flight for you and all of our  customers, GOL abides by baggage transportation regulations.

Therefore, beverages and fish can only travel as checked baggage. Computers, mobile phones, money, and other valuable items should travel with the passenge r as carryon. No blade weapons are allowed on the airplane, like knives, axes and sickles; nor are fire-arms, like handguns and bombs, or explosive and flammable material, among others.

Be aware of the policy for pets, such as cats and dogs. They can travel on the same airplane as you, but not in the passenger cabin, unless it is guide-dog or service-dog and accompanies a handicapped passenger who is reliant on the animal. 
For more information, see the table below on what can and what cannot be transported on the airplane.

Perishables and Food

Ice

If you are transporting ice, it must be either gel or in individually packaged in completely sealed, airtight, plastic bags. If the packaging is inadequate and may  possibly damage the aircraft, or other passengers’ baggage, GOL can refuse to transport the product. Therefore, follow the instructions and prepare everything correctly so as to avoid surprises.

Plants

If you are transporting plants as carryon please keep in mind:

• If they are in vases, you will have to take measures to prevent water, soil, or other item from spilling.
• There is no specific compartment onboard to accommodate plants.  Therefore, you should keep the plant with you during the entire flight. Note that this may cause some discomfort.
• Use common sense when transporting plants that exude a scent so as not to disturb other passengers.
  

Liquids

• Make sure that the liquid is in a container of up to 100ml (3.4 oz). Containers larger than 100 ml (3.4 oz) cannot be transported, even if they contain the stipulated quantity.
• Package the container appropriately and loosely inside a clear, sealed, plastic bag, of up to 1 L (34 oz) and 20 cm x 20 cm (8 in x 8 in).
• Present the bag for inspection as you come to the X-Ray screening in the boarding area. Present it separate from carryon, laptop, and clothes.
• Respect the limit of one bag per passenger. Thus, if you need to transport more liquid products, place them in your checked bags.
• Keep receipts of liquids purchased at well-known stores like Duty-Free at international airports and show them with the boarding pass. In addition, the liquids should be placed in sealed plastic bags.
