Travel Info What can you take in your hand luggage on board a aeroplane for european travell? Travel Tips to hear it "from the horses mouth" so to speak, visit the BAA website (British Airport Authority) and you can print off the can & can'ts so you can be certain. http://www.baa.com/portal/controller/dis... It is so easy to forget somthing is say in your bag (ladies and make up etc!) and get it confiscated at security, which is so frustrating. So read up and be prepared. Have your little zip lock see through bag for "liquids" and have it separate from your hand luggage when you process it through the scanner at securtiy. The added security is a must and we can help ourselves to help them do their job by trying to be prepared. Anyway - enjoy - have a great trip! Others no sharp objects and if you want to take liquids they have to be all put together in a clear resealable plastic bag. Each item of liquid cannot be more than 100ml. The strangest things count as liquids - lipstick, toothpaste, gels etc. Most of the airline websites will have details of the current restrictions. You can't take lighters through security either. We picked up a leaflet from Gatwick last April; it's called "New EU Security Rules at Airports" You can still pack liquids in bags that you check in - the new rules only affect hand luggage. You are only allowed to take small quantities of liquids in your hand luggage. (And we were only allowed ONE piece of hand luggage - handbags not allowed as an extra) Liquids must be individual containers with a maximum capacity of 100 ml each. You must pack these containers in one transparent, re-sealable bag of not more than one litre capacity per passengers. (They did hand out suitable plastic bags) We had to have all jackets screened and large electrical devices had to be removed from hand baggage to be screened separately. Liquids included: water and other drinks, soups, syrups creams, lotions and oils perfumes sprays gels, including hair and shower gels pressurised containers with shaving foam, other formas and deodorants pastes, including toothpaste liquid-solid mixtures mascara, lipstick, and others items of similar consistency. Mums with baby bottles had to drink some of the mix in front of the Customs Officer Medicines can be carried if they are needed on the plane (we suggest that you take a copy of your prescription if you are on a lot of medication because you may be asked for proof) Of course the old no guns, knives, nail scissors, etc. Have a great holiday. |
