EVA Security Restrictions for European flights

[Braveheart 0]

Dear Member,

 

Please see the below information about the security regulations affecting EVA Air passengers using all European Union (EU) airports .

 

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, THE FOLLOWING RESTRICTIONS APPLY TO LIQUIDS, GELS, AND/OR AEROSOLS FOR PASSENGER HAND BAGGAGE SCREENING AT ALL EUROPEAN UNION (EU) AIRPORTS

 

• No liquids, gels, and/or aerosols are permitted, EXCEPT:

1. Liquids, gels, and/or aerosols in containers of no more than 100 milliliters (3.4 oz.) on

board the aircraft.

2. These containers must be carried in transparent plastic bags.

3. There is a limit of one transparent plastic bag per person.

4. The volume of the transparent plastic bag may not be greater than 1 liter.

5. The transparent plastic bag must be re-sealable.

 

• The plastic bag must be completely closed/sealed and subjected to x-ray inspection separate

from the passenger's carry-on bag.

 

• There are two exceptions to the above rules:

o Baby food needed during the flight;

o Medicines needed during the flight.

 

• All other liquids, gels, and/or aerosols may be transported in checked baggage.

 

• Shopping at European airports and on board European airlines:

 

You can still do your shopping, including duty-free shopping, at EU airports after passport control and on European airline flights. Liquids and gels that you buy after the ticket and/or passport control or on board will be packed and sealed for you as necessary by the shop or on board. The seal is valid for one day. If you must change to another plane, you may not break the seal until you reach your final destination.

 

• Shopping at non-European airports and on board non-European airlines(e.g. BR flights): If you buy liquids or gels at a non-European airport and on board non-European airlines, and change planes at a European airport, you should allow for the possibility that your purchases will be confiscated at the security checkpoint.

 

Note: Furthermore, traveling from a non-European airport, on board a non-European airline, direct to a European airport as your final destination, your carry on luggage will not be subject to the above restriction.

It looks like the new EU regulation re hand luggage, I've just seen a newspaper article (on internet) so far but this is the new rules for travels iniside EU. And inspired by the american rules I think.

I flew out of LHR on Wednesday with Eva and actually got through security pretty quick, never checked my toiletries.

Flew to the US last week. On departure they were very strict on toiletries, returning from the US the American authorities weren't interested although they did make me take my belt / shoes off
