Guidelines for Liquids Aerosols and Gels:
On 8 May 2007, Singapore implemented guidelines that restrict the amount of liquids, aerosols and gels that passengers can carry in their hand-carried luggage. The guidelines apply to all flights departing Singapore. Passengers are advised to check-in all liquids, aerosols and gels(LAGs) that do not meet the new guidelines. Liquids, aerosols and gels in hand-carried luggage should be packed in accordance with the new guidelines, before passengers arrive at the airport. The guidelines on hand-carried luggage are:
1. Liquids, aerosols and gels must be in containers with a maximum capacity of not more than 100ml each. Liquids, aerosols and gels in containers larger than 100ml will not be accepted, even if the container is partially-filled;
2. Containers must be placed in a transparent re-sealable plastic bag with a maximum capacity not exceeding 1-litre. These containers must fit comfortably within the transparent re-sealable plastic bag, which must be completely closed;
3. Each passenger is allowed to carry only one transparent re-sealable plastic bag, which must be presented separately for examination at the security screening point;
4. Exemptions will be made for medications, baby food and special dietary items. These items will be subjected to additional checks at the security screening point.
Passengers are encouraged to check in 2 to 3 hours before their flight (subject to airlines' requirements).
Liquids include :
* Drinks, including water and juices
* Soups and sauces
* Perfumes and deodorants (liquid or liquid-solid mixture)
* Creams, balms, lotions and oils
* Cosmetics such as mascara and lip gloss
* Pastes, including toothpaste
* Pressurized foams and sprays, including shaving foam, hairspray and spray deodorants
* Gels, including hair and shower gels
* Contact lens solution
* Any other items of similar consistency
Passengers are advised to check in for their flights early. Most airlines start operating their check-in counters at least 2 hours before flight departure. Before proceeding to the check-in counters, have your own valid passport, valid visa if necessary and air ticket ready. If you have an e-ticket, bring along a print-out of your e-ticket.
All checked baggage will be screened by airport security. Passengers should not pack any weapons, combustible items, explosive materials, toxic or other dangerous substances into their check-in baggage. Passengers may be required to have their checked baggage undergo further security screening if deemed necessary. All passengers should check that they are issued with the correct boarding passes and that their travel documents are in order before leaving the check-in counter.
