Liquids

Some liquids are allowed through airport security check points. There are however, 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 (about the size of a small freezer bag), which itself must not exceed 1 litre in capacity (approximately 20cm x 20cm). The contents of the plastic bag must fit comfortably and the bag sealed. Each passenger may carry only one such bag of liquids which must fit comfortably within the single permitted item of hand baggage.

The bag must be presented separately for examination at the airport security point.

Please note:

* Any containers larger than 100ml (excluding essential medicines, see section below) will NOT be allowed through the security search point.
* Most liquids of any amount may still be carried in hold baggage.
* One lighter per person may be carried through central search. Lighters form part of the allowance of liquid in the litre bag and can either be placed inside the litre bag or screened separately provided they would fit into the bag. It is very important that passengers do not place the lighter into their cabin bag after screening - it must be carried on the person for the duration of the flight. Lighters are NOT permitted in hold baggage.

Remember that 'Liquids' includes:

* All drinks, including water, soup, syrups
* Creams, lotions, oils, perfumes, 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

Yes.

For hand baggage it must be a small tube (max 100ml) and carried in a separate clear plastic bag with other similar items.

For main luggage you can take your whole allowance in toothpaste if it grabs you that way. Not sure how many tubes that would be. (inserts smilie)

once you are through passport control, and security, anything you buy in the shops (boots the chemist etc)can be taken in your hand luggage :-)

Thanks

Just like to buy the items from home as probably cheaper than buying at the airport.
