Please remember that any other bags, such as handbags, laptops bags etc. may only be carried within the single item of cabin baggage. (Check beforehand for exceptions such as violins or larger instruments that may require the purchase of extra seat).

Certain items such as liquids may only be allowed if container capacity is less than 100ml (including perfumes, sprays and aerosols) and they must be put in a single transparent resealable plastic bag approx 20cm x 20cm. (Small freezer bag size). Anything outside these limits will NOT be allowed in your hand luggage but may be allowed in hold luggage.
