Carry-on baggage
It is a good idea to bring as little carry-on baggage as possible.
You should pack any non-essential liquids in the baggage you will be checking in with your airline. Then you won’t have to deal with the restrictions for carry-on baggage.
If you are travelling only with a carry-on bag, or if you need to carry liquids onto the plane with you in your hand baggage, please read the rules below.
The rules for how much baggage you may carry with you onto the plane vary from airline to airline. For this reason, we recommend you contact the airline you will be flying with if you have any questions about how much carry-on baggage you are permitted to bring or about possible size and weight restrictions.

What can I pack?
You are only allowed to pack liquids or liquid substances in containers that can hold a maximum of 100 millilitres (1/10 litre) in your carry-on baggage.
You may pack more than one container in your carry-on baggage, but the quantity may not exceed the number of containers that can fit into a transparent one-litre plastic bag that is re-sealable. Passengers are allowed to bring only one of these bags.
