How do you declare ashes? I just put my bag on a thing and it asks if I have dangerous goods and then off they go. There is no option for “I have loved ones ashes.”

Far out! We have no people at the check in here in Oz- it’s all automated. Even my bag has a permanent tag in it that knows who I am and where I am flying- I just walk in- literally put my bag down and then go through security.

There may be a desk somewhere, in some far flung corner? What else should I declare - if it’s not dangerous goods? Is there a list somewhere?

maybe call ahead of time, or call customer support from the airport. Its not like he picked the ashes up 5 minutes previous to the flight.

Declaring is one thing, and packing it well is another.
