From 31 March 2007, all flights from New Zealand to any overseas destination limit the amount of liquids, aerosols and gels you (and your children) can take on board in your carry-on baggage. This is in line with new international aviation security guidelines and assists the security of everyone on board. Any liquids, aerosols and gels that passengers want to take in carry-on baggage MUST BE IN CONTAINERS 100ML OR SMALLER All liquids, aerosols and gels in your carry-on baggage must be carried in ONE transparent plastic bag with a re-sealable top. The plastic bag must be no larger than one litre (about 20cm by 20cm or 15cm by 25cm). This is about the size of a sandwich bag, available at supermarkets
You will have to show your plastic bag separately from your other carry-on baggage at the airport’s security screening point for checking. Liquids, aerosols and gels include items such as: water, drinks, make-up, sun block, face cream and other creams, insect repellent, perfume and other sprays, lipsticks, lip gloss or balm, mascara, shaving cream or gel, shaving and other pressurised foams, shower gel, deodorant, hair wax and other waxes, hair gel or spray, toothpaste and other pastes, foods in sauces, soups, stews, pickled foods, and jams. Buying and travelling with your duty free and other retail purchases will not change for most passengers. If you are flying directly to your final destination from a New Zealand airport you can purchase duty free and other retail products as usual, once you have passed through security screening. You can pre-purchase duty free and pick it up on your return to New Zealand. You can still buy or collect duty free goods on arrival in New Zealand. If you are stopping over – that is, collecting your bags and staying overnight – you can buy duty free in New Zealand and pack it in your checked-in baggage before you continue on your journey. If you are transiting through another airport en route to your final destination you are likely to be subject to security measures in other countries. If you are changing flights in Australia, or in the other countries listed below, you will not be able to take duty-free liquids onto your second flight.
This list is not exhaustive. Other countries are announcing that they are introducing the new measures on a regular basis. Screening Standards Awareness Program
