New Delhi: One of travelers’ most frequently asked questions before booking tickets is, “How much cash can a passenger carry onboard?”. It is important to note that the rules vary between domestic and international flights. Whether it’s an international travel or a domestic journey, most of the people prefer air travel as a mode of journey since it’s the quickest way to reach their destination. You’re likely familiar with luggage restrictions for air travel, but did you know there are also specific limitations on the amount of cash you can carry?
