Restrictions still in place on carrying liquids in hand luggage / Transporting in a separate, transparent plastic bag

From 6 November on new hand luggage regulations will come into effect for all passengers departing from airports in the European Union (EU). This specifically concerns taking liquids on board. The new security regulations were enacted by the EU to protect passengers from the threat of liquid explosives.

Passengers may carry liquids in their hand luggage, but only within single containers (tubes, cans, bottles) each of which with a capacity not greater than 100 ml. These must be contained in a separate, transparent plastic bag, which must not exceed 1 litre in capacity. Only one bag per passenger is permitted. This plastic bag (e.g. re-sealable freezer bag, standard bag with zip fastener) may contain any number of containers, but must be completely sealed and presented for examination at the security checkpoint.
