This bag must be shown to the security personnel for inspection. You must be able to close the bag securely and the security personnel must be able to open it to check its contents. Press-seal or “Ziploc” type bags are suitable.

Certain liquids are allowed in the cabin without restriction, under certain conditions:

• liquids to be used during the journey for medical reasons, or special dietary products (like baby food). You must be able to prove what the liquid is
• liquids obtained airside beyond the point where boarding passes are controlled, from outlets that are subject to approved security procedures as part of the airport security programme, on condition that the liquid is packed in a bag that is both tamper-evident and visibly displays satisfactory proof of purchase at that airport, on that day
• liquids obtained in the security restricted area from outlets that are subject to approved security procedures as part of the airport security programme; liquids obtained at another EU airport, on condition that the liquid is packed in a bag that is both tamper-evident and visibly displays satisfactory proof of purchase airside at that airport on that day
• liquids obtained on board an aircraft of an EU air carrier, on condition that the liquid is packed in a bag that is both tamper-evident and visibly displays satisfactory proof of purchase on board that aircraft on that day.
• Liquids purchased in duty-free shops at non-EU airports or on non-EU or non-EFTA flights are not allowed in the cabin, even if they are in a transparent, sealed bag.

Lithium batteries

To find out whether lithium batteries and devices containing them are allowed in your luggage, check their wattage and configuration:

• Lithium batteries of less than 100 Wh: mobile phones, laptops, tablets, drones, cameras, mp3 players, etc., containing these must go in cabin luggage.
• Lithium batteries of 100 Wh to 160 Wh: you must contact Luxair for permission to carry these (e.g., in video cameras and automatic external defibrillators).
• Lithium batteries of more than 160 Wh: not allowed in any luggage (e.g., in electric and hybrid bikes, hoverboards, airwheels, small segways, etc.).
• Spare batteries with exposed terminals are not permitted in checked luggage. In cabin luggage, they must be protected from short circuits (terminals covered with sticky tape, and carried in individual plastic bags or in their original packaging). Spare batteries of less than 100 Wh must only be for personal use, and only two spare batteries of 100 to 160 Wh are allowed per person.
