What is and Isn't Allowed in Your Carry on Luggage

Safety is very important if you want to travel by airplane. The rules of what to carry in your luggage changed after the attacks of the 11th of September 2001 in New York. These decisions are taken for preventing the tourists against the increase of terrorism worldwide and nobody wants panic when he wants to make his travel.

The last changes in safety rules for our luggage were taken after the attacks in London in August 2006 and especially for carrying liquids in our hand luggage.
It is not allowed to take certain liquids in your hand luggage like some batteries, explosives, propane or butane gases and toxic substances. Of course explosives are never allowed to carry with you if your travel; not in your usual luggage and neither in your hand luggage.

Most tourists have problems with the laws about the liquids which are allowed to carry in their hand luggage and how to take them with. The liquids need to be packed in individual containers and with a maximum of 100 ml each. It is necessary to pack these liquids in a transparent plastic bag with a maximum capacity of 1 liter. Be sure that your bag is securely closed!

These liquids include all kinds of items like water, gels, creams, perfumes, pastes (even tooth paste) and mascara. I suggest you to pack most of these in your usual luggage. Tooth paste, creams and perfumes are allowed in your normal luggage and even if your luggage doesn't arrive on time on the right destination you can buy most of these products in the environment of the hotel. Many hotels offer tooth paste for free.

The reason that liquids are not allowed in the hand luggage is that the risk exist that some travelers may have the intention to make some explosives with these liquids. That is also the reason that only a limit quantity of water belongs to this list. Passengers who have knowledge of making explosives or dangerous products are not longer being able to cause trouble with this minimum of liquids.
