We advice you to put in your registered hold baggage all liquid products, creams, gels, pastes and aerosols not purchased in the airport. If you nevertheless wish to take such products with you in the cabin, their capacity must not exceed 100 ml and they must be placed in a re-closable transparent plastic bag (such as a freezer bag) with a capacity not greater than 1 litre (20 cm x 20 cm approximately). One such bag is permitted per passenger. Food for babies and small children is permitted, regardless of quantity, if the child is present. These products must be presented separately for security checking and you may have to taste them in the presence of a security agent. Medicines in liquid or cream form are permitted regardless of quantity. The quantity must be in relation to the duration of your stay. You are however advised to have a medical prescription in your name with you when you present yourself for the security checks. Cleaning products for contact lenses and moist wipes are permitted in the cabin.
Anything of a spread-like, creamy, or semi-liquid consistency (chocolate spread, cheese, etc.) is considered to be a liquid within the meaning of European regulations, so it is therefore subject to the same restrictions, i.e. a maximum of 100 ml.

The sales assistant will put them in a sealed bag with a receipt showing the date of purchase. If you have to change to another flight during the journey, the bag must be presented separately for the security check. You must not open the bag before reaching your final destination.
