| Excellent summary. All the highly annoying rules still apply and UK airports are particularly hot on them. This is an excerpt from Heathrow's website: "Liquids – 100ml rule Only limited quantities of liquids may be carried through airport security into the departure lounge. This includes bottled drinks, suntan lotion, fragrances, cosmetics and toiletries. The following restrictions apply to all liquids, creams, gels, pastes and aerosols taken through security control: Liquids may only be carried in containers holding 100ml or less. They must be carried separately in a single bag which is: Transparent and resealable No larger than 20cm x 20cm (8in x 8in) Able to close properly with all the items inside. At security control, place the bag in the tray with your other items. Liquids in containers over 100ml will not be permitted through security – please pack them in your hold baggage instead. The following exceptions may be made to the 100ml rule: Baby food or baby milk: This exception is only permitted if you are travelling with a baby or infant. Please carry only what you need for your journey and, to assist security screening, please do not carry these items in a flask. If you are not travelling with a baby or infant, excess liquids should be carried as hold luggage. You may also wish to take advantage of our pre-order service for collection after security by calling us on 0800 678 5324 or email us. Liquid medicines: You are only permitted to carry quantities of liquid medication in excess of your personal liquid allowance where it is needed during the course of your flight. All medication should be accompanied by documentary proof of authenticity, such as a prescription or letter from a medical practitioner confirming that you need them for your journey. Liquid medication that is not required on the flight should be carried as hold luggage." |
