The relaxed norms also specify that each passenger is restricted to carrying only one hand-luggage item (in addition to the re-sealable liquids bag) of a maximum size of 56cm x 45cm x 25cm. Passengers would have to remove laptops and other large electrical items (e.g. a large hairdryer) from cabin baggage and get the same screened separately. A laptop bag will however be regarded as one item that is allowed in the cabin. Exempt from this statutory one-bag limit are pushchairs, walking aids and wheelchairs, which although permitted would be required to be screened.
Essential medicines and baby foods (sufficient for the duration of the journey) have been permitted in larger quantities above the 100ml limit, but will be subject to the authentication that is already currently required.
