Liquids and items in carry-on: airport rules so you don't lose anything

At security it's common for liquids or items not allowed in the cabin to be held. It helps to know before you arrive.

What to check before you go

Liquids

At many airports liquids in the cabin must be in small containers inside a clear bag. Check the exact limit in your airport's rules.

Items that are often held

Sharp objects, tools and some sports items usually go in the hold. If in doubt, ask the airline.

If something is held

How to pack

Place liquids and electronics so they can be taken out quickly and check in what you don't need in the cabin.

If something is held

You may leave it, check it in if still possible or ship it, depending on the airport. Ask staff for information.
