Liquids, Aerosols & Gels: Rules

11 May 2007

Singapore will implement restrictions on the carriage of liquids, aerosols and gels from 8 May 2007, 1200 hrs. The changes are in line with new guidelines set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). These measures will apply to flights departing Singapore, as well as those who are making transit/ transfer connections in Singapore.

The restrictions are as follows:

Liquids, gels and aerosols will only be allowed in cabin baggage if they are kept in containers with volumes of not more than 100 ml each.

These containers fit comfortably in a clear, re-sealable plastic bag. The total volume of the bag must not exceed 1 litre.

Each person is allowed to carry only one such plastic bag.

The bag must be removed from cabin baggage and presented to security personnel for visual examination.

Examples of liquids, aerosols and gels include:

all liquids including beverages, soups and syrups

gels, including hair and shower gels

pastes, including toothpastes

creams, lotions and oils

contents of aerosol cans, including sprays, shaving foam, deodorants

mascara

liquid-solid mixtures

any other item of similar consistency

Note: The above items are some common examples and are not exhaustive.

Medications and special dietary requirements, including baby formula:

Are permitted in cabin baggage.

Must be removed from cabin baggage and declared to security personnel at the checkpoint. These items may be subject to security checks.

Customers with prescription medicine are advised to bring along supporting documentation (e.g. ID cards, letters from doctors) as verification.

Duty-free purchases:

Liquids, aerosols and gels purchased from duty-free shops at Changi Airport, will be allowed onboard.

These items must be packed in a transparent, sealed plastic bag. Receipts of the purchased duty free items must be attached or enclosed in the bag.

Inflight duty free purchases from previous sectors will be allowed onboard for transiting / transferring passengers if they are packed in transparent, sealed plastic bags with receipt attached.

For flights from Singapore to Australia and/or the US, duty free liquid, aerosol and gel items are allowed provided these items are purchased on board or are delivered by duty free staff to the gate-hold room in a sealed bag.

Customers who are entering Australia or the US via transit in Singapore will NOT be allowed to carry duty free items purchased from previous sectors.

Items, which are not permitted through security checkpoints due to the LAG restrictions, will be disposed off at the gate.

Any excessive LAG items detected at the security screening points at the boarding gates will not be accepted for check-in in the cargo holds.

Some countries have imposed these restrictions on both arrival and departure flights. This may affect your ability to carry duty-free purchases onboard the aircraft. Customers are advised to check with duty free personnel before making their purchases.

Read a tongue-in-cheek article in I-S mag on what not to pack for all our carry-on laggage.

'No Pool Cues - Sharp or blunt objects capable of causing injury are prohibited. This rule doesnt just apply to knives, swords or scissors though. Various airports have exteneded the list of dangerous things to include ninja stars, hockey sticks, bats and pool cues.

No Dried Crocodile Penises - Croc phalli, together with other traditional medicine like rhini's horn and tigers' weenies, are purported to alleviate impotence, increase one's sex drive and more. Use of wild species for medicine, however has led to challenges to conservation. Our take on better performance in bed? Stick to the little blue pills. Licensed ones, of course.

No Fruits - Some food products can also hinder you from passing thru the checkpoints smoothly. Airport security guards for example such as those in the US, may cut open any tropical fruits you're carrying to check for worms, bugs like Oriental Fruit Fly or the Mediterranean Fruit Fly.

No Pistol-Shaped Lighters - We all know firearms are not allowed. But replicas, which include toys, will be confiscated too. Lighters have to be surrendered if you're travelling to countries like US, while places like Hong Kong allow each passenger to carry one lighter on them.

No Soiled Shoes- Because of fears about diseases and pests, soiled items such as shoes are forbidden at airports like Australia's..

No Edward Abbey's Book Hayduke Lives!- We're not kdding. According to Philadelphia's weekly, a teenager was stopped from boarding his plane and cross-examined because of a novel he was carrying. It has an illustration of a man's hand holding several sticks of dynamite for its cover. So to make sure you have a fuss-free time at the customs, why not carry a Harry potter novel instead?' -I-S

Read this in chinese My Paper today. SIA will be offering chilli crab, batku teh, laksa and other local spicy cuisine from August on some of their flights. In case you are wondering how to eat chilli crab while the plane is negoiating air turbulent, have no fear. According to the paper, the crab meat will be pre-shelled and special napkins provided for that special dining experience. Laksa anyone? :D
