Are liquids allowed on a plane?

A: You can take small amounts of liquids with you in your hand luggage if:

They are in individual container(s) no larger than 100 millilitres (3.5 fluid oz).

• The container(s) are carried within one transparent re-sealable or zip-top plastic bag with a capacity not exceeding 20cm x 20 cm or 8 inches x 8 inches or one litre capacity. Customers will be responsible for providing their own re-sealable plastic bag.
• The contents of the plastic bag must fit comfortably, are easily visible, are not packed on top of each other and the bag is completely closed.
