How much money am I allowed to bring on an international flight?

Question

I was just wondering how much money one is allowed to bring on an international flight. I am only planning on bringing a few hundred dollars in the local currency. Is that allowed?

Answer 1

If you're departing from the US, you basically can bring as much as you want, but you will need to fill out a form and declare any amounts of $10,000 and over. As the previous answer said, all countries vary as far as the amount you can bring in without declaring the amount, a few hundred of local currency is fine and you should have no problem almost anywhere almost anywhere in the world.

Answer 2

Suzie,

It does not matter to the airlines how much money you have with you. There are restrictions on moving currency and how much you can bring into a country. You need to check on the country that you are going to go to and see what its rules are. Some countries require that you have a round trip ticket to enter.
