Handbaggage Restrictions

Liquids

Some liquids will be allowed once again through airport security check points. There will however be restrictions on the quantity of liquids that can be taken through.

Passengers may carry small quantities of liquids, but only within separate containers each of which with a capacity not greater than 100ml.These containers must be brought to the airport contained in a single, transparent, re-sealable plastic bag, which itself must not exceed 1 litre in capacity (approximately 20cms x 20cms). The contents of the plastic bag must fit comfortably and the bag sealed. Each passenger may carry only one such bag of liquids. The bag must be presented for examination at the airport security point

Liquids that cannot be placed inside the re-sealable bag must be packed into the hold luggage and checked in. Liquids of any amount can still be carried in luggage checked into the aircraft hold.

'Liquids' includes:

· All drinks, including water, soup, syrups

· Creams, lotions, oils, perfumes, lip glosses, mascara etc

· Sprays and pressurized containers including shaving foam and spray deodorants

· Pastes, including toothpastes

· Gels, including hair and shower gel

· Any other solutions and items of similar consistency

Medicines

Essential medicines and baby food may be permitted in larger quantities above the 100ml limit, but will be subject to the authentication that is already currently required.

Lighters

One lighter per person is allowed but it must form part of the liquid allowance in the litre bag. After screening the lighter must be carried on the person for the duration of the flight, it must not be placed in the cabin bag.

Cabin baggage and size allowed

Each passenger is restricted to carrying only one item (in addition to the re-sealable liquids bag) through the airport search point with a maximum size of 56cm x 45cm x 25cm.

Pushchairs, walking aids and wheelchairs are permitted but will be screened.

Laptops / electrical items

Laptops and other large electrical items (e.g. a large hairdryer) will still have to be removed from cabin baggage and screened separately. A laptop bag will be regarded as your one item that is allowed in the cabin.

Outsize items

All items of luggage which do not fit in the permitted cabin baggage size (maximum length 56 cm, width of 45 cm and depth of 25 cm) must be checked in to be placed in the aircraft hold.
