All relevant information about the rules for carrying hand luggage is posted on the websites of airports and airlines. Safety standards are mandatory for everyone, and the number of pieces, weight and size of hand luggage are regulated by airlines.

What not to take in hand luggage

It is prohibited to carry in the aircraft cabin and checked baggage dangerous items and substances:

• weapon
• flammable substances and liquids
• liquefied gases
• explosives

• piercing and sharp objects

Seemingly harmless household items cannot be carried in hand luggage: a corkscrew, a nail file with sharp edges and nail clippers, scissors, tweezers, a straight razor, a folding knife, a corkscrew, knitting needles. All this must be checked in, and if it is not there, then look for alternatives or buy it on the spot. For example, an electric razor or a razor with replaceable blocks are allowed in hand luggage, and nail files are soft.

Rules for carrying liquids in hand luggage

How much liquid can you carry?

If additional security measures are not introduced, then in hand luggage it is allowed to carry liquids with a total volume of 1 liter in packages of not more than 100 ml. You can carry any amount of liquids in any volume in your baggage.

Liquids include: water, drinks, creams, lotions, aerosols, gels, foams, pastes, etc. Cosmetics (mascara, lip gloss) are also liquids. Keep in mind that if the 200 ml shampoo bottle is half filled, then it cannot be transported. The liquids of people flying together do not add up.

Exception: baby food necessary for the child during the flight; medicines and diet food with a certificate / prescription from a doctor.

Where can I get 100 ml containers?

Don't throw away shampoo and shower gels that are provided in hotels. Most beauty brands sell or give away makeup mini kits with purchases. You can buy a set of liquid containers and fill them with your own funds.

When passing through the security control, liquids must be presented separately in a transparent resealable bag. You can buy a package that suits your requirements in stationery stores (file with a zip), a Zip-Lock food storage bag or a transparent cosmetic bag with a zipper will also work. Some airlines impose additional restrictions on the size of the bag with liquids: 20x20cm, 18x20cm.

Changes in the rules for the transport of liquids

During the Olympics in Sochi, the Federal Air Transport Agency introduced a complete ban on the transport of liquids on airplanes. IN different countries restrictions may apply - check for the latest information before departure. If during the pre-flight screening it turns out that you violated the rules for transporting liquids, you will be offered to get rid of the prohibited item yourself (throw it into a special container), discussions on this topic are useless, they can lead to a late boarding or removal from the flight.

Food in hand luggage

You can take fruit, nuts, hard cheese, sausage, muesli bars, sandwiches with you on board. Hand luggage must not contain products prohibited by customs rules and liquids with a volume of more than 100 ml. Water and food can be purchased after security clearance in the "clear zone", food and drinks on board are offered by most airlines (included in the ticket or purchased separately). You can take an empty water bottle with you and ask the flight attendant to refill it.

Medications in hand luggage

In hand luggage, it is allowed to carry medicines in their original packaging. Check in advance if your medicines are legal in the country of destination. If medications are prescribed by a doctor, it is better to take it with you. Liquid medicines (gels, aerosols, ointments, ampoules) are subject to the rules for carrying liquids - no more than 100 ml. If the medicine is vital, notify the airport staff and present a certificate from a doctor or an extract from the medical history.

Number of pieces of hand luggage

The number of pieces of hand luggage is regulated by the airline. As a rule, you are allowed to take 1 piece of baggage into the cabin of the aircraft. Business and First Class passengers are allowed 2 pieces of hand luggage. Most major aviation companies do not consider a handbag or a men's briefcase, an umbrella, a laptop, a suit or a dress in a clothing case as a separate place. Budget airlines have strict baggage requirements, following the rule: 1 person = 1 piece of hand luggage. The exception is folding baby strollers, crutches, outerwear. It is almost always allowed to take a Duty Free package on board.

Size and weight of hand luggage

The dimensions and weight of luggage that you can take on board the aircraft also depend on the requirements of the airline, the ticket class and the flight route. Hand luggage can be a small suitcase, backpack, bag.

Standard size requirements for hand luggage: no more than 115 cm in the sum of three measurements (55 × 40 × 20 cm). The weight of hand luggage is 5-10 kg. Example: a standard size suitcase for transportation in the cabin.

At the airport, there is always the opportunity to check the weight at a free check-in counter and transfer extra pounds to checked baggage. If you're flying with hand luggage only, you won't have that chance, so check your carry-on weight at home on a floor scale or buy a mini luggage scale that's handy to carry around with you. Low-cost airlines check baggage in a frame, it must fully fit into it, along with wheels and handles.

Check with your airline for information about transporting sports equipment, musical instruments and other oversized items. Before you buy something on a trip, think about whether there is free space in your luggage, you will have to pay extra for excess.

The benefits of traveling light

• You save on airfare
• Things in hand luggage are guaranteed to fly with you (if you do not leave them unattended and do not forget)
• You don't have to stand at the front desk (in most cases)
• You don't wait to collect your luggage, so you'll be the fastest to leave the airport and reach your destination

Are you out?

80% of people are not aware of their debts. Check your debts online and pay off the debt at least 2 weeks before departure.

Each category of baggage has its own rules for carriage on board the aircraft. In some cases, they may differ for different airlines. This article will describe the rules for transporting liquids on an airplane.

• Cosmetics (shampoo, gel, lotion, cosmetic oils and masks, mascara, lipstick, toothpaste, etc.).
• Perfumes (perfumes and eau de toilette, air fresheners, deodorants, etc.)
• Food and drinks (alcohol, honey, puree, jam, juices, soups, etc.)

Rules for the carriage of liquids in the aircraft cabin

You have the option to take some liquid with you in your hand luggage. The volume of the container should be no more than 100 ml. In total, you can take a maximum of 1 liter of liquid with you. Containers must be placed in a transparent bag, which must be securely closed. The liquids in the bag must not be overfilled.

The total volume of fluid carried into the cabin should not exceed 1 liter.

But there are liquids that can be carried in the cabin of an aircraft without these restrictions. Namely:

• Medications and supplements. You will be able to carry in hand luggage only those medicines and biological supplements classified as medicines that you really need during the flight. This must be proven by a doctor's opinion and a prescription for this drug. Also, when traveling by plane to the Schengen countries, you will have to fill out a special form under Article 75.
• Baby food. When flying on an airplane with a child, you can take with you as much baby food as the baby needs for the duration of the flight. Supplementary meals such as milkshakes, juices or purees can only be taken for children under the age of three. In addition, you need to be prepared for the fact that during the inspection you may be asked to taste the liquid being transported, if it raises doubts among airport employees.
• Diet foods(for example, diabetic nutrition).
• Lens fluid.

In addition, you can take liquids purchased at Duty Free on board the aircraft. There are shops like this at every airport. To carry liquids in your cabin baggage, you will need to pack them in a transparent plastic bag. You also need to take the confirmation of the purchase of the goods from the store. This confirmation must be placed in the bag along with the liquid, so that it can be seen. This confirmation must include the airport where the purchase was made.

Transportation of liquids in baggage

Liquid can be transported not only in the cabin, but also in luggage. There is no limit on the volume of the container in which the liquid is located. But you need to remember that there are flammable liquids that are strictly forbidden to be taken on a plane at all. These include paints, gasoline, various solvents and other substances of this kind. If you want to transport various aerosols intended for domestic purposes in the luggage compartment, then the cylinder valves must be tightly closed with a cap. The capacity of such cylinders should be no more than 500 ml. One passenger can carry no more than 2 liters of aerosols.

In addition, some restrictions apply to the carriage of alcoholic beverages in your baggage. Many airlines require that alcoholic liquids be packaged in a retail container, i.e. in a labeled bottle. You can check in any amount of alcohol, the strength of which does not exceed 24%, as well as no more than 5 liters of alcoholic products with a strength of 24% to 70%. Drinks with an alcohol content of more than 70% are not allowed on the plane. But there are also restrictions that are imposed on the import of alcohol by the country itself, to which the trip is made.

Carrying liquids in the hold of an aircraft

Features of the import of liquids containing alcohol into the territory of some countries

• Russia. To the territory Russian Federation You can import 3 liters of alcohol duty-free. Only one person can bring into the country no more than 5 liters of alcohol-containing products.
• EU countries and Cyprus. IN European states you can import 1 liter of alcohol with a strength of more than 22%, 2 liters with a strength of less than 22%, 4 liters of wine and no more than 16 liters of beer drinks. These rules are also valid for the importation of alcoholic products into the territory of Cyprus.
• USA. Only persons who are over 21 years old can bring alcoholic beverages here. You can take only 1 liter of alcohol with you without paying the duty. The maximum amount of alcohol imported into the territory of a given country is not limited.
• Türkiye. You can bring to Turkey by plane no more than one liter of strong alcoholic drink or 2 bottles of wine (700 ml each).
• Egypt and Thailand- 1 liter of alcoholic liquids.

Travelers who are going to fly by plane must know and strictly comply with the rules and regulations for carrying liquids in hand luggage. These rules are quite similar for all airlines in the world (with the exception of a few nuances). Some carriers may have small deviations and indulgences for domestic flights. Let's study in detail how much liquid you can take on an airplane in hand luggage.

In total, you can carry no more than one liter of liquid in hand luggage (do not confuse this concept with luggage). Containers containing it should not exceed 100 ml. That is, you will not be allowed to take a 200-gram tube of suntan cream on board, even if there is only a third of it left.

The traveler can take on board the aircraft no more than one liter of liquid. All tubes should be stored in one transparent plastic bag with a zipper. Packages are commercially available (usually their dimensions are approximately 200 by 200 mm). A plastic bag with containers and tubes is presented by the passenger when passing through the counter (it is inspected by Security Service). Security officials have different attitudes towards liquids - some will just glance at your package, some will make you open the containers to make sure there are no contraband or prohibited items. Be prepared for this.

Note: If you want to avoid delays and missing your flight, store liquids in containers with the indicated volume. The airport security service will not have any claims against you.

For liquids, you can buy a special “flight” kit— it is sold in the respective shops. It is very convenient - plastic translucent containers marked by volume will not cause any questions from customs officers. You can take baby food with you (it does not need to be put in a bag, as it is personal items), but do not forget to present the jars at the counter.

What is "liquid"

For many first-time travelers on an airplane, it will be a revelation what exactly most airlines mean by the concept of “liquid”. In addition to water and juices, this concept includes:

• all kinds of yoghurts;
• alcohol;
• any baby food;
• soft cheeses (the same mozzarella, feta or camembert);
• homemade compotes, seamings;
• jam;
• any canned food;
• gels, shampoos;
• liquid deodorants, varnishes, sprays, creams, etc. (in case they are safe).

All these “liquids” can be taken on a plane without being checked in as baggage. But do not forget about the main limitation of one hundred milliliters. Especially often travelers make mistakes with canned food: they have to be either repackaged or thrown away. Even if canned food is 99% solid, it is still considered “liquid”. Since the volume of jars is usually 200-250 ml, this is considered a violation.

Baby food in the amount of more than 100 ml. you can take it only when a child under 2 years old is flying with you. The amount of baby food should not exceed the supply that can be useful for the duration of the flight (you will not be allowed to take 10 packages with you for the entire stay). Alcohol is also a rather controversial product - many airlines have introduced prohibition on board and do not approve the carriage of "scoundrels" in hand luggage. Tipsy passengers may not be allowed on board at all, and if you start drinking alcohol on board, you will simply be fined. But not all companies have this policy.

How to transport liquid medicines?

Considering the question of how much liquids can be carried in hand luggage, it is necessary to touch on the topic of medicines. In general, drugs can be taken on board the aircraft, but there are several features. The volume of bubbles is limited to the same 100 milliliters. If they contain narcotic substances, then you will need a certificate with a seal from the hospital stating that this medicine is necessary for you (the names on the ticket and the certificate must match). In some cases, you may be allowed to carry more than one pack of medicines if you confirm that you really need it. If you have a prescription, you can bring liquid medications in vials of more than 100 milliliters, but it must be in the original packaging. Medicines are generally prohibited from pouring into their own containers. In this case, you will have to pack the medicine in a separate bag and report it to the security service at check-in.

Note: if you are flying to another country, your doctor's prescription or medical statement must be translated into English by a certified translator.

Many medicines allowed in our country are prohibited in other countries. For example, valocordin, corvalol, nurofen, cough syrups, etc. Therefore, be sure to study the requirements of the legislation of the countries to which you are flying. It is also forbidden to carry on board various medicinal aerosols (the same panthenol). If you have asthma or another illness and you need aerosols for the duration of the flight, then take an extract from the illness and a certificate from the hospital with you. If you do not have a prescription, and at the customs of the host country you are found to have prohibited medications (especially those containing narcotic drugs), then a criminal case will be opened against you.

Liquids from Duty Free

Purchases made in the duty-free zone are not subject to the 100 ml rule. You can safely buy perfume or alcohol, but just do not forget about the total weight of your carry-on luggage. Goods purchased from Duty Free must be properly sealed (they must not be opened during the flight).

Note: if your route involves a transfer, then do not open the goods from Duty Fre - they will immediately fall under the standard rules. Some European countries prohibit the import of liquids purchased in free trade zones outside the EU.

Often, going on a trip, people do not have time for a long time and painstakingly study all the nuances of the rules for transporting luggage, passing through customs inspection. As a result, the trip can be spoiled due to a misunderstanding or possession of inaccurate data.

How much liquid can you carry on a plane in 2019? We will get acquainted with the current data so as not to lose personal belongings during the inspection.

A couple of years ago, the rules were very democratic. Increasing cases of drinking alcoholic beverages on the ship and the creation of a dangerous environment, terrorist attacks - all this led to a tightening of the policy of air carriers.

The carriage of liquids on the aircraft is regulated by each airline at its discretion. It implies restrictions on the volume of vials. The next criterion is sealed packaging. Liquids should not spill out, they must be isolated from common things.

The last criterion - what is meant by the term liquid? It's not just water, so let's look at the list in more detail.

What is considered a liquid

For aviation industry the concept of liquid has a broad meaning. For many travelers, it becomes a discovery what a large list includes the term, in addition to well-known drinks. Examples:

Most airlines limit liquids to one liter per person. For a single tube, the volume is not more than 100ml.

If a passenger takes a tube of 200-300 ml, but it is one-third used, it will be necessary to pack the tube in luggage or not take it with you on a trip. The rules of carriage do not allow such an item to be allowed on board.

Many travelers are wondering what standards they should be guided by - Russian or international? In fact, when going to any country, you should focus only on the carrier company and check their requirements for carrying liquids on the ship.

There are separate rules for baby food: a mother can take any number of jars as needed during the flight. Their volume, the total weight of luggage is not limited. In this case, the child must be under two years old for the family to fall under the rule.

All food that the mother takes on board must be consumed. Dry dilutable mixtures do not belong to the category of liquid substances. They can be bred on board by asking the stewardess for boiling water.

Note! Baby formulas and purees are considered personal items, not carry-on baggage.

In checked baggage

You can check in an unlimited number of bottles of liquid in your luggage. All creams, shampoos and other products of suitable consistency are put into the suitcase in the amount required by the passenger.

Such a rule is provided due to the fact that during the inspection at the airport, baggage passes on a tape under X-ray radiation. Employees can see all the substances carried and make sure that the passenger is not carrying anything dangerous or prohibited.

For the import of alcoholic beverages into Russia, there is a restriction - liquids in the luggage of an aircraft are no more than three liters per person.

From Duty Free

It is a free trade zone without tax duties. When buying goods in Duty Free, there is no 100 ml limit for the tube.

It may also be allowed to bring several packages of medicines into the salon if there is documentary evidence of the need for admission. In this case, the restriction of 100 ml per vial is removed.

Important: it is forbidden to pour medicines into other bottles before the flight!

They must be in their original packaging, as this makes it easier for airport staff to check. They should easily reveal the composition, the name. If you nevertheless poured into a separate container, go to the security service well in advance of the flight and notify them of this.
