Airline Hand Baggage

lancsdave · 13-04-2008, 19:17

Has anyone flown recently and can tell us what the rules are now about what you can and can't take. One concern we have are things like deodarants ?

Looked at various sites and it's all very confusing

We flew in Feb, and we were allowed 1 piece of handbaggage per person. No more then 100mls of liquids per person. So deordrants etc would have to go into your suitcase. Hope that helps.

I received my air line tickets yesterday, it gives you a list of what you can't take on the back of the tickets.

Is that 100ml total ?

We aren't taking suitcases, only hand baggage

No limits if you fly with this airline

We flew to Jamaica and it was very confusing too..as far as im aware you still cant take any fluids in hand luggage IE: drinks, shampoo etc and you cant take lighters or any sharp objects in handbags or hand luggage, deodrant has to be packed away in your suitcase...

I last flew in Febuary, and the restrictions have been relaxed sine I'd previously travelled in November.

However, I packed any liquids in my case, and not in the hand luggage, so don't know the exact rules.

What I do know is that you can now carry lighters on to the plane. They give you a small plastic bag to put them in before you go through security, so I suspect it might be the same for other small amounts of liquid.

There are still restrictions on hand luggage, it has to fit in a certain space, that they have on display in departures.

I'd check that out too.

different countries have different rules and different airlines have different rules.

Check with your airline dave what you can take and what you cant. There'll be a list somewhere on their website more than likely.

Okay, Slinky the stuff on the back is Prohibited items, things like bullets and explosives.
The latest on what you cn take can be found on the DFT website here:
Department for Transport - Airport security

Any liquids, ie deodorant, just stick in your hold luggage, thats not affected.
