British tourists are being reminded to follow the rule on bringing liquids onboard flights.
Some airport officials have said more tourists than usual have been caught out by liquid rules this year.
Holidaymakers can only take containers of up to 100ml and the items will also not be allowed if they are half full.
According to UK Government advice liquids include:
- All drinks, including water
- Liquid or semi-liquid foods such as jam and honey
- Cosmetics and toiletries, including creams, lotions, oils, perfumes, mascara and lip gloss
- Sprays, including shaving foam, hairspray and spray deodorants
- Pastes, including toothpaste
- Gels, including hair and shower gel
- Contact lens solution
- Any other solutions and items of similar consistency.
Holidaymakers are being reminded that all liquids must be in a clear, resealable plastic bag which measures approximately 20x20cm.
All the containers must fit comfortably inside the bag which must be able to be sealed to go through security.
Passengers should take the clear bag out of their hand luggage before going through security and place it in the tray.
