All containers must be placed in one transparent re-sealable bag (such as 'ziplock' bags or bags with pressable seals), no larger than 20cm x 20cm (8" x 8") in size and not larger that one litre in capacity. The containers must fit comfortably inside the bag so it can be fastened closed. These bags are available from most major supermarkets
Only ONE transparent re-sealable bag is allowed per customer. Larger or non-sealable bags, (such as fold-over sandwich bags) are NOT allowed
Your one transparent re-sealable bag must fit into your single piece of hand luggage
All customers must remove the clear plastic bag from hand baggage and place it in on the conveyor belt for X-ray screening
