Handluggage

Informations on what (not) to bring in your hand luggage. We start off with liquids.

What is considered liquid?

Anything that is liquid, or has a paste consistency, is considered a liquid. This includes frozen liquid. For example, water, soda, jelly, cream, lotion, perfume, shaving cream and other similar consistency are considered liquid or paste.

How much liquid can I bring?

In theory you can bring a total of 1 liter, but the containers must all be under 100 milliliters (1dl) and fit in a transparent 1 liter re-sealable plastic bag.

How should the liquids be contained?

The liquid must be in containers that hold a maximum of 100 milliliters (1dl). By container is meant a bottle, tube, beaker and similar ones. The amount is determined by the size of the container, not the amount of liquid in it.

Informasjon og tips før du går gjennom sikkerhetskontrollen

Travellers are responsible for not bringing banned items onto airplanes. If such items are discovered at the security checkpoint the passenger will be stopped and asked to remove the item before he or she is allowed to proceed. Waste containers are available if the traveller wishes to dispose of items in this manner. Please note that these items will be destroyed. Please note that the security staff may reject any object not included on the list above but nevertheless gives rise to concern.
