Aviation security — prohibited items

Banned outright (cabin and hold)

• Explosives, fireworks, ammunition.
• Flammable compressed gases, flammable liquids, oxidising agents.
• Toxic, infectious, radioactive and corrosive substances.
• Damaged, recalled or over-capacity lithium batteries.

Hold baggage only

• Knives, scissors, sharp objects and tools usable as weapons.
• Club-shaped sports equipment (golf clubs, baseball bats and similar).

Cabin baggage only — never in the hold

• Power banks and loose lithium batteries — a fire in the cabin can be spotted and put out in time; one in the hold cannot.
• Electronic cigarettes.

Liquids in cabin baggage

No container over 100 ml, one litre in total, carried in a transparent resealable plastic bag. Prescription medicines and infant milk are assessed separately.
