Are balloons allowed on a plane?

Yes, balloons are generally allowed on planes, but there are some restrictions. Helium-filled balloons are typically not permitted in the cabin due to safety concerns, as they can float to the ceiling and obstruct emergency equipment. However, deflated latex balloons can usually be carried in checked luggage or as part of a carry-on. It's always best to check with the specific airline for their policies regarding balloons before traveling.
