Flights from the UK - what's the rules on liquids in hand luggage?

Question

I'm flying out to Majorca in 3 weeks, and I know you are not allowed more than 100mls....but what exactly is the rules?

Can you put toiletries with more than 100mls in your suitcase?

Can you buy bottles of water once you're through customs?

I have a 1 and a half year old baby, any tips for what to take on the plane for him?

Answer 1

This is what the UK Dept of Transport Air Security website says: "Where possible, put all liquid items in your hold baggage. This includes water and other drinks, creams, sprays, pastes and gels. "

"Liquids, gels and aerosols are only allowed in individual containers of 100ml. All containers must fit comfortably in one, transparent, re-sealable bag no larger than 20cm x 20cm (eg a freezer bag)."

So you can take several 100ml items in a plastic bag.  Think the EU regulations items should not total more than 1 litre.

Yes, you can buy water airside.

Contact your airline (or check their website) about taking formula or baby food on the plane.  Also ask them about the buggy as different airlines have different regulations on these.

Answer 2

Tolietries I Suggest Put That In Your Checked In Luggage

Buy Water And Food After Customs

And A Buggy Wont Count As Hand Luggage, Just Bring It
