Liquids carried in Unchecked Baggage

Security measures regarding liquids in Unchecked Baggage have been implemented at all airports within the European Union. These regulations specify that liquids in Unchecked Baggage, such as water, alcohol, beverages, gels, creams, lotions, perfumes, shampoos, cosmetics, aerosols, and various other items of similar consistency, are now classified as prohibited unless specific conditions are met. According to the regulation, these items may not be carried on board unless they comply with the outlined guidelines. This regulation supplements the existing rules on prohibited items in aircraft cabins, specifically affecting liquids in Unchecked Baggage and not in Checked Baggage. Below are important guidelines to ensure a smoother and quicker process at airports where these new rules apply:

Permissible Items in Unchecked Baggage:

• Liquids in Small Containers: Each container must not exceed 100ml and must be placed in a single, transparent, re-sealable plastic bag with a maximum capacity of 1 litre. Only one such bag per passenger is allowed, and it must be sealed and presented separately at Security Screening.
• Medicinal and Dietary Liquids: Liquids required for medical or dietary purposes, as well as baby food needed during the trip, may be carried. Passengers may need to provide proof of necessity.
• Duty-Free Purchases: Items bought at Duty-Free shops beyond Security Screening must be placed in a special sealed bag provided by the shop. This bag should remain sealed until after screening. If transferring at an EU airport, Norway, Iceland, or Switzerland, do not open the bag before the final screening, or the items may be confiscated

Security staff are required to enforce these regulations and will ask passengers to dispose of any liquid items that do not comply.
