It’s been 10 years since rules were introduced on taking liquids in your hand luggage, but even frequent flyers get confused by the countless restrictions.
The following liquids are restricted:
- All drinks: including water
- Liquid or semi-liquid foods: including soup, jam, honey and syrups
- Cosmetics and toiletries: including creams, lotions, oils, perfumes, mascara and lip gloss
- Sprays: including shaving foam, hairspray and spray deodorants
- Pastes: including toothpaste
- Gels: including hair and shower gel
- Contact lens solution: including other solutions and items of similar consistency
The rules on travelling with restricted liquids
- You must take no more than 100ml of any of these liquids on a flight
- Liquids must be placed into individual 100ml containers – larger containers, even if only partly full, are not usually accepted at security
- All 100ml containers must fit into a clear, plastic bag no bigger than 20cm x 20cm
- 1 bag per passenger.
- The bag has to be able to close and be sealed – overstuffed plastic bags will not be accepted
- The maximum amount of liquid in total that you can carry onto a flight is 1 litre
- Bags must be shown at airport security
