Security and safety

FROM FRIDAY 31 JANUARY 2014

PREPARE LIQUIDS, GELS AND AEROSOLS IN YOUR HAND LUGGAGE FOR SECURITY CHECKS

Regulation 2015/1998

These regulations apply to all flights departing from the European Union as well as Australia, Canada and the United States.

Passengers are advised to check information for other countries when booking.

It is important that you read this information, in order to prevent delays during security procedures and to avoid having your items confiscated before boarding.

ADVICE

Check in the maximum number of items in your hold luggage and only retain items which are absolutely essential for your journey in your hand luggage.

If you are travelling without hold luggage and with cabin luggage only, you must place your liquids in a closed transparent bag (i.e. a “freezer bag” of approx. 20 cm x 20 cm).

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

You must also separately present:

  • All large electronic devices: laptops, large digital cameras, DVD readers.
  • Remove your coat or jacket

Prepare your luggage before boarding:

Items to be taken into the cabin with you: laptops, camcorders, cameras and films that deteriorate under powerful X-rays.

Make sure your hand luggage does not exceed the permitted dimensions (length x width x height = 115 cm including wheels and handles, max. 10 kg). These dimensions may vary depending on the airline.

Items which must be placed in your hold luggage: any sharp or blunt object with a blade longer than 6 cm.

Attempts to take these items into the cabin may mean that you have to abandon them at the security checkpoint.

Hold luggage weight restrictions vary depending on the airline and the class of ticket. In general, luggage should not exceed 20 kg in economy class, 30 kg in business class and 15 kg on charter flights.

Please consult your airline for further information.

Items prohibited on the aeroplane, in the hold and the cabin:

Some products present a risk to health, safety, property or the environment. They are therefore prohibited on board.

  • Lighters and lighter fuel are prohibited on flights to and from the United States. This regulation applies regardless of the mode of operation and type of fuel.
