What to pack in cabin baggage

Toiletries decanted into containers of 100ml or less, all inside a single 1-litre clear bag. Keep medications and contact lens solution accessible — they can usually go above the limit.

What to check in hold luggage

Full-size shampoo, perfume, sunscreen, olive oil, jam — anything over the limit. Wrap glass in clothes and seal liquids in plastic bags in case pressure changes pop the lids.
