| Boilerpipe Text | Hand luggage and hold luggage
When travelling by plane from an airport in the
EU
, you should keep in mind certain security requirements when packing and boarding:
Liquids
carried in the aircraft cabin such as aerosols, drinks, toothpaste, cosmetic creams
or gels must be carried in a transparent plastic bag - maximum capacity 1 litre -
and no container may hold more than 100 ml. Liquid containers larger than 100 ml must
be placed in checked baggage. The volume restriction does not apply to medicines and
baby food.
Duty free liquids
purchased from any airport or airline may be carried as hand luggage as long as the
item and the receipt remain sealed inside the security bag (with a red border) provided
at the time of purchase. You may not open the security bag until arrival at your final
destination. However, security officers may need to open the bag and the bottles for
screening. If this happens, and you have a connecting flight at another airport, tell
the security officer so the liquids can be re-sealed in a new security bag.
Any
sharp objects
that might be used as weapons are not allowed in the aircraft cabin. These could
be everyday objects such as corkscrews knives and scissors of a certain size, which
should be packed in your hold luggage.
Limits on the size of cabin baggage and the number of items you are allowed to take
on board are set by the airlines so check with your airline before you travel.
Explosives and inflammable
items - fireworks or aerosol spray paint for example, and other inflammable and toxic
substances such as acids - are prohibited on flights. They may not be carried in either
cabin or checked baggage.
No
weapons
of any kind are allowed on board the aircraft.
See the rules on
prohibited articles
in your hand and hold luggage.
Warning
Check your airport's website for a detailed list of prohibited items or ask your
airline before travelling.
For general safety, all travel items are scanned or otherwise checked before being
allowed into airport security zones. |

# Luggage restrictions
On this page
## Hand luggage and hold luggage
When travelling by plane from an airport in the [EU]("In this case, the 27 EU member states"), you should keep in mind certain security requirements when packing and boarding:
- **[Liquids](https://transport.ec.europa.eu/transport-modes/air/aviation-security/aviation-security-policy/liquids-aerosols-and-gels_en)** carried in the aircraft cabin such as aerosols, drinks, toothpaste, cosmetic creams or gels must be carried in a transparent plastic bag - maximum capacity 1 litre - and no container may hold more than 100 ml. Liquid containers larger than 100 ml must be placed in checked baggage. The volume restriction does not apply to medicines and baby food.
- **Duty free liquids** purchased from any airport or airline may be carried as hand luggage as long as the item and the receipt remain sealed inside the security bag (with a red border) provided at the time of purchase. You may not open the security bag until arrival at your final destination. However, security officers may need to open the bag and the bottles for screening. If this happens, and you have a connecting flight at another airport, tell the security officer so the liquids can be re-sealed in a new security bag.
- Any **sharp objects** that might be used as weapons are not allowed in the aircraft cabin. These could be everyday objects such as corkscrews knives and scissors of a certain size, which should be packed in your hold luggage.
- Limits on the size of cabin baggage and the number of items you are allowed to take on board are set by the airlines so check with your airline before you travel.
- **Explosives and inflammable** items - fireworks or aerosol spray paint for example, and other inflammable and toxic substances such as acids - are prohibited on flights. They may not be carried in either cabin or checked baggage.
- No **weapons** of any kind are allowed on board the aircraft.
See the rules on [prohibited articles](https://transport.ec.europa.eu/transport-modes/air/aviation-security/information-air-travellers_en) in your hand and hold luggage.
#### Warning
Check your airport's website for a detailed list of prohibited items or ask your airline before travelling.
For general safety, all travel items are scanned or otherwise checked before being allowed into airport security zones.
