new security regulations for hand luggage

Check this out before checking in

You may have heard of LAGs, but what exactly are they?

dimensions LAGs stands for Liquid, Aerosols and Gels and refers to new International safety regulations that limit the quantity of these items allowed in your hand luggage on international flights.

Yes, the new laws do mean a little more planning is needed when packing but they are for the safety of all international flights.

If you want to take any creams, toothpaste, drinks, gels, shampoo, mascara, perfumes, shaving foam, deodorant, sprays, lotion, oils, soups, solutions, syrups and so on in your hand luggage remember...

1 fill it, 2 bag it, 3 carry on
Liquids, Aerosols and Gels in your hand luggage must be in containers of maximum 100ml.
Store them in this transparent, resealable bag. Total bag capacity must be maximum 1 litre.

Only 1 bag per passenger.
Be prepared before you check-in by having your bag out at the Security check.

Enjoy your travel experience.
1 fill it, 2 bag it, 3 carry on
We don't want to confiscate your belongings so if they don't comply with the new rules, pack them in your check-in luggage.
No containers over 100ml in your hand luggage, even if they're partially filled
Baby formula and food as well as medication carried on-board need not be in your LAGs bag but remember to show them to Security. If carrying medication you may need to produce your prescription.
