Different airlines and airports are implementing different rules, with different starting dates. The upshot is that Australian travellers are not sure of what they can take with them in their “carry-on” bags, or within their checked luggage.
Furthermore, liquids and gels are being confiscated at many airports leading to traveller frustration – at both the cost and inconvenience of losing products with which they wanted to travel.
Although the regulations seem to be changing, and may be applied differently in various situations (departures, transit or arrivals) and locations, some clear and consistent rules are becoming apparent. Good advice for travellers would be to understand and comply with the following brief summary:
• Liquids / gels can be packed into “checked luggage”
• Liquids / gels to be carried onboard the aircraft in hand luggage should be:
- In a transparent, resealable plastic bag of no more than 1 litre volume (1 quart for USA). Limit of one bag per traveller and not exceeding 80cm in outer edge measurement.
- Bottles, tubs and tubes, etc. inside the plastic bag must be no more than 100ml each in volume (3oz in USA).
One company believes it has the solution for travellers wishing to take their own liquid, cream and gel products in their carry on luggage. Korjo sells refillable plastic bottles (product code RF 77), which is described as a perfect combination of a transparent, resealable travel bag containing assorted size and shaped refillable plastic bottles (each less than 100ml). There are two bottles, a pump pack, an atomiser and two tubs.
The Korjo RF 77 is said to comply with the international airline regulations for LAGs.
At a RRP of $19.95, a traveller can now simply take their products on board without the fear of confiscation and loss of expensive personal items.
