Important: New Hand Luggage Rules for taking Liquids, Aerosols & Gels
Several government authorities are implementing new measures restricting the amount of liquids, aerosols and gels that can be taken on board aircraft as hand luggage for flights to, from and within the country to enhance security for passengers. The new measures, which take effect immediately, mean that:
Liquid, aerosols and gels taken on-board planes as hand luggage must be in containers no bigger than 100ml (milliliters). This include drinks, creams, perfumes, sprays, gels, toothpaste, lipstick, lip balm and similar substances that you can pour, spray or smear.

These containers must be sealed comfortably in one litre transparent plastic re-sealable bag (for example 20cm x 20cm or 15cm x 15cm)
Passengers will only be able to carry one of these transparent bags each;
Duty-free items taken through screening are subject to the same rules as other liquids, aerosols and gels. At many Australian airports, passenger will be able to purchase and collect duty-free items after they have passed through screening for their international flight. Further restrictions will apply if travelling to USA or Canada.
No duty-free items will be permitted to be taken through an international transit screening point in Australia. Similar rules are in place at airports internationally.

Passenger may carry duty-free liquid, aerosols and gel purchases on board if they are delivered to the departure gate in a sealed bag with proof of purchase and collected after passengers have proceeded through security screening.
Passengers may also purchase liquid, aerosol and gel duty-free items on board an aircraft. However, if they are transiting through Australia, these items cannot be taken through the screening point.

The new measures take into account the health and medical needs of passengers. Passengers may still carry on-board prescription medicines necessary for the flight are also allowed. There are no changes to the amount of aerosols, liquids and gels passengers are allowed to pack in their checked luggage, providing they are not 'dangerous goods'. Airlines will be able to advise what items are considered to be 'dangerous goods'.
