Carriage of liquids

1. What products are considered to be liquid?

Liquids:

• Water and any other beverages (both soft and alcoholic);
• Soups, sauces, syrups and oil;
• Perfume;
• Creams, lotions, powders and any other thin / thick makeup;
• Vaseline, lipstick;
• Oils;
• Paste (toothpaste as well);
• Gels (e.g. hair and shower gels);
• Mascara;
• Foam (such as shaving foam, hair mousse);
• Deodorants;
• Spray liquids;
• Liquid and solid mixtures;
• All substances with similar consistency as those listed above.

2. What amount of liquids can be carried in hand luggage and how they should be packed?

Liquids carried in hand luggage must be contained in small volume containers which do not exceed 100 ml. These containers must be packed in a transparent resealable plastic bag. The total amount of liquids per passenger cannot exceed 1 litre (1000 ml).

Note. A passenger can take liquid medicines or liquid food for babies in larger than 100 ml packs. However, passengers may be asked to prove that such an amount of medicines or baby food is needed for the journey.

3. Are the liquids purchased in duty free shops also counted as hand luggage liquids?

The quantity of liquids (beverages, perfume, etc.) purchased in duty free shops is not limited or checked (i.e., it may exceed the permitted 1000 fluid of volume ml per passenger). Passengers can carry a plastic bag specially packaged in a duty free shop with a sales receipt inside as hand luggage, even on a transit flight (however, the liquid must not be unpacked until the final stop).

Note. Low-cost airlines usually allow to take only one piece of hand luggage, therefore the goods purchased in duty free shops along with other carry-on baggage may not exceed the weight or size requirements (for example, a bottle of wine purchased must fit into a backpack taken by the passenger as hand luggage).
