Why you can’t carry liquids on a plane

Liquid cannot be taken on a plane unless it has been purchased from a duty-free shop. DIP has figured out why you can’t carry liquids on a plane.

According to aviation regulations, “liquid” is not only water but also alcoholic and other drinks or contents with a viscous consistency—for example, cream, cosmetics, and dairy products, including cheese.

You can carry liquids in hand luggage if they are correctly packed. Tubes must be placed in a transparent or cosmetic bag with a volume of not more than one hundred milliliters. The total volume of liquid should not exceed one liter per person.

Carriage restrictions do not apply to children under two years of age. For them, you can carry baby food and dairy products. However, it is better not to prepare the mixtures in advance, since it is impossible to verify the authenticity of the composition.

Also, the restrictions do not apply to substances that are necessary for the nutrition or treatment of patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.

In the luggage compartment, passengers can carry any amount of liquids and products that relate to them. For example, any drinks, creams, gels and perfumes, cheeses, and more.

Honey, jam, and even caviar must be checked in and carefully packed before the flight. However, it is worth considering the restrictions on the quantity of the product.

For example, if the alcoholic beverage is up to 24% ABV, the amount is not limited. If the strength of alcoholic beverages is from 24 to 70%, then you can carry no more than five liters per passenger. Alcohol with strength above 70% is not allowed.

Restrictions on the transport of liquids arose because under the guise of any liquid, flammable liquid substances or chemicals can be carried, from which an explosive mixture can be created.

A small fire can be put out with a fire extinguisher, but a large fire at an altitude of ten thousand kilometers will be much more difficult to eliminate. Therefore, the transport of alcohol is also limited, the ethanol in the composition is flammable and can lead to a fire on the plane.
