To reduce duplication and to try and ensure that this topic is kept for Hand Luggage discussion, would you mind continuing discussion about luggage scales in the topic that Wizard has linked to please.

Many thanks

I expect this has been asked recently so apologies if it is somewhere else, but what are the changes in regulations now regarding liquids in hand luggage at check in? It used to be ?100ml and no lipsticks/lipsalve. Daughter is finally going away for a well earned break following A levels :cheers and needs water/juice to take with her Meds.

hbrac,

There's been no recent changes, a full description of the rules is on page one of this thread and on the DfT's website. You can't take liquids through security, but these can be purchased once through security and taken onboard the aircraft.

didnt know you couldnt take a lipstick or lip salve in hand luggage....I've taken mine in the platic bag....as long as each item isnt over 100mls and is in the liquids bag its OK...and no more than 1000 mls in total, which is 10 things of 100mls.......tweetie

You can take lipstick and lipsalve - I always have one of those little tins of vaseline. The restriction is as you say no item over 100mls and a total of 1000mls.

hbrac, I've taken both lipstick and lipsalve through security in the plastic liquids bag with no problem at all. With water, hubby and I dump bottle we've had for journey to airport in bin after check in and then bought a bottle for on the plane airside.

Hello everyone :wave:

Hope i dont sound a bit thick, but im aware of the rules regarding liquids but what about food? :think is it possible to take a sandwich or snacks for the flight.

Any info would be great thanks :tup

Yes, provided they don't have a high liquid content such as a large amount of mayonnaise.

Hey,
Got a quick question about hand luggage with the new restrictions.

A person in the group I am traveling in is getting married whilst in Cancun and wants to carry the dress as hand luggage in a suit bag. I don't seem to think they will allow this with a suit bag being larger than the standard size.

Can anyone tell me what your advice is on this matter?
Thanks

Not exactly sure about that one but perhaps worth ringing the airline and asking them - they may make an exception as it's a wedding dress.

z.j.c,

It depends who you are flying with (Thomson?). If the dress / bag is within size and weight limits for hand luggage, then it's permitted. If not, it must be packed in a suitcase.
