flight regulations?

Question

What is not allowed to take with you on a plane besides food and drink?Are you allowed to carry cosmetics like make-up,perfume etc?

Answer 1

Depends where. In the UK they are easing the regulations as of November 6th :

From 6 November passengers may carry a limited quantity of liquids i.e. gels, lotions,pastes, liquid cosmetics, foams and foodstuffs in their hand baggage when going through airport security checkpoints," BAA, which owns London's Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted airports and is part of Spain's Ferrovial, said in a statement. Under the rules the liquids must be in individual containers of 100 ml or less. The containers must be placed in one transparent, re-sealable plastic bag, no larger than 20 cm by 20 cm. Passengers are allowed one bag. Exceptions would apply for medicines and baby food or milk, BAA said.

In the US these regulations have been already invoked in September.

Here's the US Transportation Security Administration's website with their list of permitted and prohibited items: http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/permitted-prohibited-items.shtm

After November 6 travel through the UK will have new rules.

Basically 3 oz (US) or 100ml (UK) of liquids are allowed in one quart (US) or 8" x 8" zip top plastic bag. Bag must not be overfilled and it must close. Here's a page with tips on packing your cosmetics: http://www.mousetourstravels.com/security-alert-cosmetics-packing-guide.html
