Answer 2

Hey there, I just came back from Milan yesterday and the latest is that u can basically not have any liquids in your hand luggage. This means lipstick, foundation, even moisturiser or a bottle of water. If u r a mummy travelling with a bambino, you can take a bottle on board as long as you swig some of the milk. Funny old world!

anything! but remember to keep the (safe)fluids tightly sealed in ur checked baggage.
other than that u can carry anything. i am sure the restriction of choosing between a laptop and hand luggage has been slacked.
check with ur travel agent and the airlines u choose to fly with abt the rules once more. some might have restrictions still for certain destinations flying in and out of it!
