Liquids in limited amounts again allowed
Rules governing personal carry-on baggage will be eased from today for Lufthansa passengers on flights to the USA.
On instructions from the German and US authorities, passengers will again be allowed to take limited amounts of liquids, wax or gel-type substances in their hand luggage into the aircraft cabin. Permitted are containers, such as bottles or tins, each up to a size of 100 ml but they must be carried in a transparent plastic bag with a volume of no more than one litre. One bag per passenger is allowed.
Exempted are prescription medicines and baby food, of which larger amounts may be packed in carry-on bags insofar as they are essential for the flight.
All liquids as well as drinks and toiletries purchased after the security check at the airport may also be taken onboard flights.
This regulation has been applicable to all flights out of the USA since Tuesday of this week. The German authorities have now introduced the measure from today (Friday) for all flights ex Germany to the USA.
