Tips
For Travellers: November 2006 - New EU hand baggage restrictions
The
European Union has adopted new security rules that restrict
the quantity of liquids, gels and pastes passengers may
carry in their cabin baggage, effective immediately
The
new rules apply to all passengers travelling from any
EU airport and it’s important to familiarise yourself
with these new regulations.
-
All liquid containers must be carried in a separate clear
plastic, zip-top or re-sealable bag that does not exceed
20 cm x 20 cm or one litre capacity.
- All
items must fit in the bag comfortably and the bag must
be completely sealed
- There
is a limit of one transparent re-sealable plastic bag
per person.
- At
the airport security search, the plastic bag must be removed
from the cabin bag and x-ray screened separately.
- Liquids
must be held in individual containers not exceeding 100ml
(approximately 4 fl. Oz) and may include - Shampoo, Suntan
lotions, Toothpaste, Hair gel, hair spray, Perfumes, Liquid
or aerosol deodorants, Cosmetics, Water and other drinks,
Soups,Syrups, Any other item of similar consistency
There
are two exceptions to the rules:
- Baby
food needed during the flight
- Medicines
needed during the flight
Exempt
items must also be placed in a separate transparent re-sealable
bag and presented separately at the passenger security screening
area.

What
happens when you purchase a bottle of whisky, gin
or wine in a local supermarket and want to bring it
into an airport in the EU, Norway, Iceland or Switzerland?
All
liquid items over 100ml purchased in an EU country
cannot be carried as hand luggage through the security
search area. only liquids that have been purchased
airside at another EU airport, or on board an aircraft
operated by an EU carrier may be carried as hand luggage.
You will need to show proof of purchase to demonstrate
this, the airport or airline will pack these items
in tamper evident bags and the receipt would be placed
in the bag as proof of purchase.
Special
information for transit/transfer passengers
If
your journey involves changing flights at any EU airport,
special restrictions apply. You may only take liquid
items (for example duty free) through the security
search point at your connecting airport if:
Liquid
items in excess of 100ml purchased from other airports
or on board other airlines may only be carried as
hold baggage on the connecting flight.

January
2008 France goes "Smoke Free" in cafes,
bars and restaurants from 2nd January
A
ban on cigars, cigarettes and pipes takes effect from midnight
on the 1st January. As in Ireland. Sweeden, Italy, Scotland,
Wales and then England the sokers are having to move outside
if they want to smoke at their local bar or restaurant.
The effect has been an increase of sales of outdoor heaters
as the law allows smoking to continue on terraces of bars
as long as they are open to the elements as has been the
case in Ireland and Britain. The ban will also include discos
and casinos. Smoking in restaurants has in fact been technically
against the law for over 10 years.The law allowed for part
of the restaurant to be a non-smoking zone.
