Fruit was brought from Tai in hand luggage, they bought a plastic basket and everything was delivered perfectly in it. You can put fruits in your baggage that do not crumple during transportation, otherwise there is a risk of bringing fruit puree mixed with things.

Hard (coconut, pineapple, mangosteen) - in luggage, soft, like mango - in hand luggage. Be careful with special baskets, there are different troubles at different airports, but our border guards and customs officers know these baskets by sight very well. If they want fruit, you will have trouble. It is optimal, as in my opinion, to put a hard box into an ordinary bag or a hand luggage suitcase, and fruits into it.

In Thailand, at a local household goods store, I bought not a special fruit basket, but an ordinary plastic one (such a rectangular trough) for 0.3 dollars, kg for 6-7 fruits. I overlaid it with newspapers, bags, wrapped it with tape. Everything flew perfectly (including mangoes) in a sports bag, in luggage. Maybe just lucky that they didn’t jump on it? :)))

I specially took a separate bag in which I put 9 pineapples (well, my husband loves it very much)) I just cut off their leaves at the top and the spine at the bottom))) I checked in my luggage - everything was good upon arrival) the main thing is that there would be no overweight))

In Sri Lanka, there was a couple in front of us who had fruits taken away from them at the airport near Colombo, although our guide said that they could carry them, and our friends were worried that they would take away a backpack full of coconuts, but no one paid attention to them - they are like are randomly checked.

My friend and I brought mangoes, passion fruit, papaya, anola, wild apples, red bananas, pineapples from Sri Lanka. They raked so much that there was an advantage. I had to shift into hand luggage, although there, too, it was already above the norm. But there were no problems. A friend's hand luggage was checked only in Dubai, she was carrying tea, apparently, the packages seemed suspicious.

Thank you all so much! I really want to bring a little summer for the new year. Now we are in Bentota Beach, we are flying on 24. I will take a little by hand, and I will hand over the hard ones in luggage. And how much can a suitcase weigh if one suitcase for 2 people plus a child? Thank you all for your answers. First time in Sri Lanka, hopefully not the last!

look at the tickets
Air Arabia 20 kg per person allows + up to 10 kg in hand luggage (just so that the dimensions do not exceed)
we had a joke - there were 4 of us (for each 20 kg), I had an overweight of 1 kg - I transferred one pineapple to a manual coad. And our luggage was weighed all 4 and my 1 kg would not be superfluous!! so you can do exactly 40 kg for 2! and if it is also provided for a child, then 60 ... but! look at the tickets - the rules are written there!
I really envy that you are there right now))) and we have snow and frost here ....
Good luck)
