RESTRICTIONS ON LIQUIDS, AEROSOLS & GELS (LAGS) IN CABIN BAGGAGE

Each traveller must remove their 1000ml/g plastic, zip-top bag from their carry-on and place it in a tray or on the conveyor belt for X-ray screening. X-raying separately will allow Airport Security Officers to more easily examine the declared items.

They are intended to help air travellers bring essential toiletries and other liquids, gels and aerosols for short trips. If you need larger amounts of liquids, gels and aerosols such as toothpaste or shampoo, please place them in your hold luggage.
