What do the new regulations state?
The new EU security guidelines say that passengers should only carry liquid in 100ml containers on board and that the total amount of liquid should not exceed a liter. All liquid containers should be carried in a transparent plastic bag. The regulations only apply to liquid in hand luggage. Bottles of liquid can be packed normally in suitcases that are checked in.
What liquids are being regulated?
Pretty much everything. The new EU rules don't only apply to drinks and perfumes but also liquids and gels in various forms such as shaving-foam, sprays, shampoos, liquid soaps, sun lotions, oils, creams, deodorants, lip-gloss and toothpastes.
Are there any exceptions in the regulations concerning liquids?
Exceptions have been made for baby food, milk or juice for travelers with babies or infants. Medicines or insulin and juices for diabetics may also be brought on board without restriction and do not need to be carried in plastic bags. Passengers must declare the liquids they intend to carry on board in these cases.
There are still controls in place however. As a precautionary measure, inspection personnel who have doubts may ask passengers to prove what is carried is an appropriate medicine or necessary substance for the flight. Therefore it is wise to bring a medical certificate or appropriate documents of identification with you.
