Is it possible to take liquid in hand luggage. What you can and cannot take on the plane

When preparing for a flight, responsible travelers always study the baggage rules and hand luggage... A separate important question is how much liquid you can take on the plane. In most cases, the rules of airlines around the world in these matters are the same, with the exception, perhaps, of small nuances. What are the conditions for the carriage of liquids, what do airlines refer to as liquids, how to carry medicines and alcohol on an airplane - let us examine in detail these and other most popular questions.

Established standards

Airlines have rather strict rules for the carriage of liquids in the cabin of the aircraft. In order to avoid unpleasant situations when going through pre-flight security at the airport, you should familiarize yourself with them on the website of the carrier you have chosen.

The main rule for carrying liquid in hand luggage can be described by the formula: 10 * 100 = 1000. The decryption is simple: you can take no more than 10 containers with a volume of no more than 100 ml with you in your carry-on baggage. Thus, the total volume of fluid should not exceed 1 liter per passenger.

It is important to take into account that even if the package was originally larger, it will not be allowed on the plane, even if there is at least 30 ml of liquid left in it. Simply pour your shampoo or other liquid into a smaller container. To avoid unnecessary disputes, it is most convenient to use transparent containers with the volume indicated on them. For these purposes, hotel shampoo packages or the so-called "summer sets" of bottles are perfect.

Another important rule: all transported liquids are additionally folded into a transparent cosmetic bag or a bag with a zipper. This is done so that liquids do not spill in your purse during the flight, and it will be more convenient for you to present this package to the airport staff at the security checkpoint. Some airlines separately prescribe the size of such a package: 20 by 20 cm.

Please note that airport security may react differently to liquids you carry. Someone will turn a blind eye to a slight excess. Someone, on the contrary, will count all the bottles and tubes and carefully check that you are not carrying anything of the forbidden. Agree, it is not pleasant if your favorite perfume remains at the airport. So it's better to follow the rules than waste time and money.

Every rule has its exceptions. So it is here. The volume requirement for liquids in carry-on baggage does not apply to baby food, diet food, liquid medicine and alcohol purchased from duty free shops. Below in the article we will dwell on them in more detail.

There are also special assumptions for individual carriers. For example, some companies increase the allowable volume of a bottle to be imported to 500 ml, and the total volume to two liters. But, as a rule, most airlines support the above norms.

It is worth considering the measures of the volume of the country to which you are going. For example, if you are flying to the USA or departing from Canada, then the maximum allowable volume of each bottle will not be 100, but 90 ml (corresponding to three fluid ounces).

Rules for the carriage of liquids in baggage

Everything is simpler here. There are no special restrictions, except for the prohibition on the transport of hazardous liquids and limits on the imported alcohol (we will talk about them below). Anything that does not fit into the carry-on baggage limits can be safely put in your baggage. The main thing is that the suitcase meets the free baggage weight norms, otherwise you will have to fork out and pay extra for the excess. Naturally, all liquids in your luggage should also be securely packed so as not to spoil your belongings.

Let's talk about liquids

It should be borne in mind that air carriers mean not only water, alcohol and other liquid substances by liquid. The list here is much broader and includes:

Drinks, juices, syrups;

Yogurt, sour cream, kefir and other dairy products, soft cheeses;

Jam, honey, jam;

Canned food (even if they are 90% solid);

Creams, gels, lotions, body oils, shampoos, deodorants;

Liquid perfumery: perfume, eau de toilette, aromatic oils;

Products of pasty consistency: toothpaste, mascara;

A mixture of liquid and solid particles;

Aerosols: shaving foam, hairspray;

Baby puree;

Medicines;

Alcohol.

All of these liquids can be put in your carry-on baggage, provided that you meet the volume limits.

Any flammable liquid;

Acetone, solvents, bleaches;

Varnishes, paints

Mercury (but some airlines allow one mercury thermometer in a special case);

Gasoline, antifreeze, brake fluid;

Fertilizers and liquid chemicals.

You may not even put them in your luggage, let alone carry-on luggage.

Baby and special meals on the plane

Let's go back to the exceptions - those liquids that are not subject to restrictions on the volume of containers carried in hand luggage.

A small child under two or three years old can (and even need to) take with him everything he needs: a bottle of infant formula, milk, water, juice. The volume of a jar of baby puree or a bottle of water may well exceed 100 ml. It is not worth packing all this in an additional bag with a fastener. The main condition is a reasonable amount, since it is assumed that you will need this food only for the duration of the flight.

You can also take more special diet food with you. However, at the security checkpoint, you will need to show a doctor's certificate stating that you must adhere to the established diet.

Medicines on the plane

A first aid kit is an indispensable item for any tourist. All kinds of liquids are also found here: ointments, creams, syrups and drops. However, it is worth collecting medicines for the trip correctly, otherwise you can get into a very unpleasant situation.

There are a number of important nuances to consider.

Firstly, the volume and number of vials of liquid medicines is not regulated, provided that you have documents confirming the vital need to take the medicine with you to the aircraft cabin. If you do not have a doctor's confirmation, then the volume limitation remains in force: the volume of the bottle is not more than 100 ml, the total volume is up to one liter.

If the drug contains a substance that is considered narcotic, then you will also need to provide a certificate from your doctor about the need to take this drug.

Never transfer medicines from their original packaging into more compact containers. Factory packaging is a prerequisite for the transportation of medicines. If you have already done so, report it to security in advance.

Be sure to check the expiration dates. Expired funds can be considered dangerous and, therefore, prohibited from transportation.

All of these rules apply to domestic travel by purchasing. If you are flying abroad, some very important restrictions are added to the above.

Not all drugs that can be freely purchased at any Russian pharmacy can be exported abroad. Moreover, we are not even talking about potent psychotropic substances, but rather popular drugs that are freely sold in Russian pharmacies.

The list of prohibited drugs in each country is different. For example, in the countries of the European Union, the USA and Asian countries, there is a ban on the import of analgin, in Lithuania, under the ban of valocordin and corvalol, in a number of countries it is prohibited to import cough syrups. Moreover, this list is constantly changing and expanding. Therefore, before collecting a first aid kit, study the laws of the host country. If there is an urgent need for a medicine, then you will need to have a prescription with you. In some cases, you will even have to use the services of a professional translator.

How to carry alcohol on an airplane

Many air carriers have a "dry law": it is forbidden to drink alcohol on board the aircraft, as well as to transport it. In this case, all "fun" drinks are sent in the luggage.

As for the carriage of this kind of goods in baggage, there are a number of restrictions here as well. So, in a suitcase you can put any amount of drinks with a strength of up to 24%, up to five liters of alcohol with an strength of 24% to 70%. Stronger drinks are prohibited. All of them must be in the original container.

In addition, it is worth considering and customs regulations for the import of such goods. They are different in each country, so be sure to check this information well in advance. Thus, up to 16 liters of beer, two liters of drinks with a strength of less than 22%, four liters of wine or a liter of strong alcohol can be imported duty-free into the countries of the Schengen zone from other countries. In the United States, alcohol can be imported by passengers who have turned 21 years old, in an amount of no more than one liter. It is allowed to bring two bottles of wine or a liter of strong alcohol to Turkey. In Russia, duty-free import is limited to three liters per passenger. But in Qatar, Pakistan, in the Maldives, in Saudi Arabia the import of alcohol is prohibited at all.

Duty Free and Liquid

In Duty Free stores, you can freely buy a bottle of good brandy or perfume, since these goods are not subject to restrictions on carrying liquids in hand luggage. The main thing is that they can only be carried on the plane in a branded sealed bag with a check. In no case open the package before the end of the flight, even better - before leaving the city. You should also be aware that purchases in such stores are not taxed only in the country where they are sold; when entering another country, different rules will already apply.

Some EU countries even prohibit the transport of goods purchased in Duty Free outside the EU zone. So, choosing a transit flight through such countries, you risk being left without shopping. In other cases, it is enough to simply not print your package when transferring, the main thing is that it fits into the carry-on baggage allowance by weight.

Carriage of caviar

Yes, caviar is also equated to liquids. A treat on the plane can be carried both in hand luggage and in checked baggage. But it is important to remember that each country has its own norms for the import and export of such products. So, up to 5 kg of red and up to 250 g of black caviar can be introduced into Russia. At the same time, caviar can be transported within the country in any quantity. Only 125 grams of black caviar can be introduced into European countries.

As with other liquids, you can carry no more than 10 cans of 100 ml caviar in your hand luggage in a sealed original packaging. Packaging can be any: plastic, glass or metal. The main thing is that it should indicate: manufacturer, expiration date, labeling, certification. It is worth keeping the receipts so that there are no questions at customs. If the container is larger, then it will have to be placed in the luggage.

Those who decide to travel by airliner must know the rules for transporting liquids in and carry-on baggage. It is worth saying that the standards for all air carriers in the world are identical, there may be some discrepancies in the rules. Also, when making domestic flights, there are some additions and permissions for prohibitions. Next, we will tell you in more detail how much liquid you can take with you on the plane in your carry-on baggage.

There are certain conditions for liquids in carry-on baggage on an aircraft. If you are carrying liquid in the cabin, it should be no more than 1 liter. The containers cannot be more than 100 ml. Remember that even if you decide to transport a 200 g tube of cream, and the contents are less than 100 grams, you will not be allowed to take it to the salon.

If you take liquid into the cabin, it should not be more than 1 liter in total, but it should also be transported in a transparent bag with a fastener. Such packages can be purchased in office supplies, their dimensions are often 200x200 mm.

The package with the contents is often shown during the passage of the Security Service, whose representatives may look at the transported differently. Some may casually glance at the package, others may force you not only to open the package, but also the tubes to make sure that you are not carrying anything prohibited. So this should be remembered.

Important! If you want to go through the Security Council without delay, we advise you not to store the liquid substance in a container with the specified volume. In this case, the representatives will not have any questions for you.

You can also get out of the situation if you purchase the so-called "summer set" with the presence of plastic transparent containers with markings, which should not raise any questions from the customs service.

As for baby food, it is possible not to pack it in cellophane, since this refers to food, that is, the child must be fed on board during the flight.

Let's talk about liquids

If you think that only juices, water and alcohol are related to the concepts of liquids, then this is not the case. Air carriers define liquids as:

• yoghurts;
• alcohol;
• food for children;
• soft cheeses, such as mozzarella, feta, and so on;
• seaming, compotes;
• jam;
• canned food;
• gels, shampoos;
• aerosols, deodorants, antiperspirants, creams.

The above options can be taken in the cabin of the liner. However, carrying liquids on an airplane is subject to the 100ml limit rule.

Most travelers make the mistake of carrying in carry-on luggage canned food and they are then thrown away or transferred to baggage. Moreover, even if 99% of canned foods include solid foods, in any case they subject to the concept of liquids... Well, since the standard volume of canned food is 250 ml, this already breaks the rules.

For the transportation of "liquids", you can purchase plastic containers, which will simplify their transportation without causing customs issues.

If you take food for a child who is less than 2 years old to the salon, then it can be more than 100 ml. But the supply should be enough to feed the child during the flight.

Concerning alcoholic beverages then they are also a controversial product for transportation in carry-on luggage. Some airlines have been prohibiting alcohol on board. Even drunken passengers are not allowed into the cabin. Well, if you suddenly start drinking alcoholic beverages on board, you can be fined. Therefore, this must also be monitored.

Medicines on the plane

Medicines are an important topic of discussion during transportation on board. The law transportation of medicinal products is not prohibited however, there are restrictions on them. Bubbles for transportation in luggage in the cabin of an airliner must be 100 ml each and no more than 1 liter. If they contain a substance that is considered narcotic, you must have a doctor's certificate with a seal stating that you need this medicine.

Some airlines allow transportation if necessary. Also follows have a prescription with you, which will allow you to transport liquid medicines in hand luggage in bottles of no more than 100 ml, but only in factory packaging. Do not try to pour drugs into separate containers. If this still happens, pack the drug in a transparent bag and you must inform the security service about it.

Important! When crossing a country, you will have to translate the prescription into English professional translator.

Moreover, in some countries, a ban has been introduced on medicinal products permitted in our country... For example, it can be nurofen, corvalol, valocordin, various cough syrups. Therefore, before flying, you should study the laws of the host country. It is also prohibited to transport panthenol and similar aerosol medications. If there is a need for the medicine to be available on board, you must take an extract and a doctor's certificate.

Remember, if you fly without a prescription, and the receiving party, when passing through customs, finds medicines prohibited for import, a criminal case will be opened against you.

Duty Free and Liquid

Transportation of liquids by plane from Duty Free shops. If you buy any liquids from duty-free shops, they the rule "100 ml" does not apply... Therefore, you can freely buy perfumes or alcohol there, but remember that your hand luggage does not exceed the allotted weight standards. Also, during the flight, do not unpack the goods before landing, let it be sealed.

Important! If the flight is with transfers, you should not unpack the products from Duty Free, as they will immediately fall under the rules and regulations on the carriage of hand luggage. Several EU member states have vetoed the import of goods purchased in a non-EU free trade zone.

Carriage of caviar

As strange as it may sound, but caviar also belongs to liquids... She, like other liquids, is subject to the "100 ml" rule. Therefore, it is important to consider it. Also caviar should be transported in factory sealed packages... When flying within the country, you can safely transport caviar even in plastic containers and even above a certain norm, but it should be carried to luggage compartment rather than in the cabin of an airliner.

You should also know that in all countries there is a restriction on the import of caviar. For example, more than 250 g of black caviar and up to 5 kg of red caviar cannot be transported to the territory of the Russian Federation. But the import to European countries is no more than 125 g of black caviar.

Rules for the carriage of liquids in baggage

If you are interested in how much liquid you can carry on the plane in your luggage, having studied all the standards and limits for the carriage of liquid contents in the cabin of an airliner, then airlines have not introduced restrictions on them. - do not overweight free baggage. The main thing is to ensure that the liquids you are transporting are securely packed to prevent leaks and spoil the luggage of other passengers.

Concerning alcoholic beverages then customs officers different countries establish restrictions on their import, this is especially important if an international flight is carried out. Therefore, if you are flying to a certain country, carefully study its rules on the amount of import / export of alcohol, because they are different for all countries.

Going on a trip, people, in addition to things, take with them liquids that may be necessary. When using by land transport there are no difficulties here, but when flying, you will have to strictly take into account the permissible amount of liquids you carry with you.

Category - liquid

When packing suitcases and bags, you should take into account what exactly air carriers mean by the term "liquid". Some people may be surprised by the proposed list, because it includes not only fluid substances such as water, drinks and juices.

• this category includes many types of food: soups, yoghurts, dairy products (even soft cheeses), as well as jelly, jam, honey;
• liquid substances include any type of baby food;
• all cosmetics are treated as a liquid (not only lotions, but also sprays, gels, creams, lipstick, etc.);

• perfumes (perfumes and colognes) are also liquids;
• this category also includes hygiene products - liquid soaps, shampoos, toothpastes, men's shaving products, deodorants;
• medicines in vials, vials and ampoules are also included in this list;
• even if canned food is 90% solid, it will still be classified as liquid.

The list for the transport of liquids also includes household chemicals and fertilizers, but it is unlikely that someone will carry them with them into the cabin of the aircraft. As for alcohol, this is a separate issue that will be touched upon below.

The norms of liquids in baggage

Having familiarized themselves with the free baggage allowance (each airline has its own parameters), travelers begin to pack their bags. What to put there is their personal preference. You can put clothes, toys, souvenirs, or fill bags completely with liquids. Here, airlines have no restrictions on what items are allowed.

The main thing is that the weight is in accordance with the norms. There may be weight restrictions, which are recommended to be found out in advance on the website by the air carriers whose services are supposed to be used. Otherwise, you will have to pay extra for the excess mass.

Important! They take into account the ban on the transport of dangerous substances - poisonous, narcotic, capable of provoking an explosion or fire. You will have to more carefully select the contents of the baggage in which you plan to transport liquids.

The size of the container in which the liquids in the baggage will be packed does not matter either. The main thing is that it is airtight, and there is no leakage during flight.

Carry-on baggage allowance

Air carriers are more strict about liquids that are allowed to be carried on the plane as carry-on luggage, therefore they have established certain rules and regulations. Each passenger should know how much liquid can be carried on the plane:

• the volume of each bottle, tube, vial, bottle should not exceed 100 ml;
• the maximum total volume of liquid carried in hand luggage on an aircraft is 1 liter;
• all liquid should be packed in a zippered transparent plastic bag.

Additional Information. This ziplock bag can be purchased from the office. It has dimensions of 0.2x0.2 m and can easily accommodate the required number of bottles of liquid.

Before forming your luggage, it is recommended to make a list of the essentials that should be at hand in the cabin of the liner. This will make it easier to invest in the norms for liquids you carry with you in your carry-on baggage. Everything else can be sent as luggage.

Inspection

Before boarding the aircraft, passengers go through airport security screening. Luggage and hand luggage are checked not only for the transportation of prohibited items, but also for compliance with the norms of the liquids available there.

If an incorrect packaging or excess is found that exceeds the norm, these liquids from hand luggage will have to be transferred to the luggage, if there are no contraindications for that. In situations where it is impossible to do this, it is proposed to give excess or abnormal things to the accompanying persons (if any).

Additional Information! At the checkpoint, special containers are installed, into which everything that has not passed the quotation for hand luggage is sent, the owners will have to say goodbye to these things forever. In order to prevent such a situation, all the nuances associated with the transportation of liquids should be clarified in advance.

You also need to take into account the requirements of the host party if you plan to fly abroad - each country may have its own standards and restrictions on how much liquid you can take with you. So it's not a fact that it will be possible to easily pass the inspection on the other side.

Alcohol transportation

Many airlines are categorical about the transportation of alcoholic beverages. If in some cases its presence is still allowed in the luggage, then in hand luggage it will not be possible to carry even 100 ml (the so-called "git"). The exception is drinks bought in Duty Free, they can be taken into the cabin, but on condition that the packaging remains intact until the end of the flight.

Note! In business classes, on some flights, passengers are offered alcoholic drinks to choose from, but this does not mean that the airline will allow such liquids to be carried into the aircraft cabin.

It should also be taken into account that many countries do not allow the import of alcoholic beverages to them (even those bought in the duty-free zone). Before going on a trip, you should find out what is the law in the country where the flight is planned, and clarify whether it is possible to cross the border with alcohol.

Transportation of medicines

There are restrictions on the transportation of medicines, and you need to familiarize yourself with this list in advance. It is also necessary to take into account the fact that in most countries some drugs that are freely available in Russia are not allowed.

If a passenger during the flight needs drugs in excess of the standard volumes for the carriage of liquids, they can be carried, but you will have to worry about being discharged from the medical card with confirmation of the diagnosis. It is also necessary to stock up on a doctor's certificate confirming the need to take these drugs during the hours that coincide with the trip.

The same remark applies to narcotic drugs - they must have an official written confirmation. All medicines carried on the plane must be in their “native” container, provided with labels. Going abroad, in addition, you need to have duplicate extracts and certificates, professionally translated into English (necessarily certified by a "wet" seal).

Important! If there are no documents on hand confirming the need for certain medicines for the patient, then on the basis of this, in a number of countries, a criminal case may be initiated for the illegal transport of medicines (especially if there is a ban on them there).

Transportation of baby food

When planning to take food for children with you on the road, it should be borne in mind that a child over the age of 2 years, who has a separate seat, is subject to the same rules for transporting liquids as an adult.

The airlines are more loyal to babies who are under 2 years old on the day of departure - they are not subject to the rules for the carriage of baby food and drinks. Therefore, mothers can take these liquids on the plane as much as they need to feed their baby for the entire flight period.

Note! If at the time the family returns home, the child is already 2 years old, he loses these privileges. This should be taken into account even before you go on a trip, in order to know in advance how much food you can carry on the way back on the plane.

Duty Free Products

After going through all the registration procedures for international flight, passengers can spend time in the duty-free shopping area while waiting to board. It is allowed here to bribe drinks, as well as food and alcohol. Someone will take perfumes, cosmetics and hygiene products at a lower price. Here you can no longer take into account the restriction on the volume of containers - 200 ml or more in this case are not taboo.

Even if the carry-on baggage already has the maximum allowable weight, then the goods purchased in Duty Free go above this weight. But on condition that the packaging remains intact when entering the aircraft cabin, and there will be a corresponding receipt for each purchase. Otherwise, the new acquisitions will have to be left behind.

It is allowed to use food and drinks purchased in the duty-free zone in the cabin, but then they will have to be completely eaten and drunk during the flight, so as not to have a reason to speak with representatives of the airport security service of the receiving party.

When using transfer flights, you need to take into account that the packaging on goods purchased in Duty Free must remain intact at the time of transfer from board to board. And in some countries outside the European Union, it is generally not allowed to carry goods from the duty-free zone if they go above the carry-on baggage allowance.

Carriage of canned food

Some travelers stock up on canned food for the entire vacation period, which according to the templates of air carriers is quoted as liquid. It will not work to carry them in hand luggage - only in luggage, since any of the cans exceeds the agreed 100 ml. During the inspection, they will definitely pay attention to the expiration date, as well as the integrity of the container.

Home preservation should also be airtight and packaged in an unbreakable container. If the luggage does not exceed the maximum permissible weight, there will be no questions during the inspection. For over-limits, you will have to make an additional payment to the cost of the ticket, taking into account the extra kilograms of baggage at the current air carrier tariffs.

Many passengers do not miss the opportunity to take caviar (red and black) with them on the road or bribe it at Duty Free. This product also belongs to the category "liquid", it does not matter if the caviar is bought as a present, or will be used for own needs- there may also be restrictions on its carriage.

It is better to assume this option in advance so that you do not have to waste money. If initially it is planned to carry caviar in hand luggage, then the condition of 100 ml will apply to it. It is better to put large volumes in the baggage immediately. When buying in the duty-free zone, jars of caviar must be airtight for the entire flight period and at the time of inspection at the airport of the receiving party.

It is necessary to take into account the permissible volumes of the transported product. If the transportation is carried out within the country, then there are no restrictions on the carriage of caviar in baggage. In this case, packaging is allowed in the original packaging and in plastic containers.

Additional Information! Going abroad, caviar can only be transported in factory cans with labels. But European countries allow the import of no more than 125 g of black caviar. It is unrealistic to export more than 250 g of black sturgeon caviar and more than 5 kg of red caviar from the Russian Federation.

Video

In order not to get into a mess when booking a flight on a plane (and even more so when arriving in a foreign country), you need to study in advance all the necessary information about how liquids are transported in hand luggage on an airplane. This will make your journey easier and more comfortable.

We all take liquids on the journey: shampoo, cream, deodorant. If you want to avoid problems during the inspection - study the rules and check in advance how many tubes are in your suitcase. And most importantly, look at what substances the airlines consider liquid.

How many ml of liquid can you take on a plane?

The rules on the amount of liquids on board are issued by international aviation and are valid at the airport of each country. Knowing the norms of carriage, fly without problems with transfers in Russian and international airports even if your ticket is without luggage.

Liquids in baggage

Take liquids in your luggage as much as you can carry (or how much luggage the airline has allowed to carry). The main condition is tightness. The contents of the suitcase should not harm and dirty the belongings of other passengers, even if the container is broken on the road.

Aerosols and pressurized cans must not be carried in carry-on baggage. Put in checked baggage: if you have a cap, the volume of the bottle is less than 500 ml and the weight of all cans is not more than 2 kg.

Liquids in carry-on baggage

If you are flying alone, take a maximum of 1 liter of liquid and jelly-like substances in separate packages of 100 milliliters into the cockpit. We will tell you in detail how to fulfill these restrictions.

How do I carry liquid on the plane?

Pack all liquids in containers of 100 ml or 1 deciliter and wrap in one transparent bag. Do not take more containers (even those poured on the bottom), they will not be allowed on the flight. Choose a package with a fastener, but this requirement is not critical. Follow the rule: one passenger - one package.

When flying to the USA and Canada, the permitted volume is slightly less - 90 milliliters (3 ounces).

Pour all liquids into small containers. Where to get them:

• buy a mini version of your product,
• keep the miniature shampoos issued at the hotel,
• adapt empty containers, such as cosmetic jars,
• buy a flight travel kit: cosmetic bag plus tubes.

Pack the bottles:

• tie a transparent plastic bag or fix it with an elastic band;
• buy a stationery bag with a zip fastener;
• fill in the transparent zippered cosmetic bag.

It will be a plus if there is a mark in milliliters on the container. Do not overfill medicines, they will be allowed only in the manufacturer's box. Put everything on top of your bag - in case you need to show it at the airport.

Where to buy a bag for liquids on the plane

Such a package is not uncommon. Look for packing bags with a Zip Lock in a stationery store, the size 20x20 cm will suit you, colorless and without a pattern. You will find the same bags in hardware stores.

Choose a clear, riveted or zippered cosmetic bag from a makeup store. In the same place, ask about special travel kits for cosmetics: several empty bottles of 50-100 ml in a transparent package.
Travel kits in supermarkets and fixed-price stores are also great options.

No time to search - take a simple transparent bag or file and put everything in it. Do not tie tightly - when you inspect the bottle, you will be asked to get it, it is better to fix it with an elastic band.

What are liquids in carry-on baggage?

There are a lot of surprises in this list, so read and remember which substances airlines consider liquid:

1. food products: canned food, caviar, pate, sauces, soups, yogurt, cottage cheese, sour cream, jelly, jam, preserves, butter, soft cheese, honey, chocolate and peanut butter;
2. cosmetics and perfumery: perfume, eau de toilette, cream, sun lotion, cosmetic mask, varnish, lipstick and lip gloss, mascara, creamy shadows;
3. personal hygiene items: toothpaste, roll-on deodorant, foam and shaving lotion, shampoo, conditioner, liquid soap, shower gel;
4. medicines: aerosols, inhalers, sprays, syrups;
5. drinks: juice, syrup, carbonated drinks, water, alcohol.

That is, everything liquid, pasty, jelly-like, puree-like, gel-like, a mixture of liquid with solid particles of the airline is referred to these rules.

Why you can't take liquids on a plane

Due to the growing terrorist threat and the danger of sabotage on aircraft at the beginning of the 2000s, security measures were strengthened and the requirements for baggage and carry-on luggage of passengers were changed. The impetus was the disclosure of a terrorist cell by the British special services, which intended to detonate a “liquid bomb” on several planes. Due to the difficulty of identifying liquid explosives and flammable substances during the inspection, restrictions were introduced on the volume of containers and the amount of liquid per passenger.

In 2006, the countries of the European Union agreed on additional safety regulations for civil aviation, it included strengthening the screening procedure, installing translucent devices and restrictions on the carriage of liquids in carry-on baggage. In 2007, Russia also introduced such rules. During major events, such as the Olympics, a complete ban is imposed on the transport of liquids in carry-on baggage.
