What is covered by liquids, aerosols and gels?
The new rules apply to drinks, creams, perfumes, sprays, gels, toothpaste, lipstick, lip balm and similar substances. Basically, this covers anything you can pour, spray or smear. A table is provided in the Information Brochure. It gives you some examples of what are allowed and not allowed under the new rules. More information on specifics regarding medicines, non-prescriptions and baby products is at exemptions. Note that you can still fly internationally with items shown in the right hand column of the table if: • they are carried in containers smaller than 100 millilitres and they fit comfortably into a resealable, one-litre plastic bag, or • you pack them into your check-in baggage. Naturally, these items need to comply with existing Dangerous Goods regulations.
