Security Measures at Airports
European Union
Passenger information:
Following the events on 10 August 2006, the European Union adopted security measures restricting the quantity of liquids allowed through screening points in order to protect all passengers against the new threat of liquid explosives.
These security measures apply:
- To all passengers;
- At security points at all EU airports;
- To all destinations.
Passengers are not allowed to carry liquids in their cabin baggage with the exception of those in individual containers of a capacity of no more than 100 millilitres or equivalent (100 g / 3 oz) in a transparent, closed, re-sealable plastic bag with a capacity of no more than one litre (per passenger).
The items must fit comfortably into the bag so that it closes easily and its contents can be seen and identified.
Liquids are:
- Water and other drinks, soups and syrups;
- Gels, including hair gel;
- Pastes, including toothpaste;
- Other items of a similar consistency;
- Lotions, including perfumes and shaving cream;
- Aerosols and other containers under pressure.
Exceptions
- Liquids needed throughout the journey* (Needed for use during the flight and stay) for medical purposes, with a doctor's prescription and proof of authenticity of the exempted liquid;
- Liquids needed throughout the journey (Needed for use during the flight and stay) for special diets, with a doctor's certificate;
- Baby food.
*When asked, passengers must provide proof of authenticity of the exempted liquid by tasting it or applying it to the skin.
Injected Medications
Although no authorization is required to carry injected medication, we advise our passengers to carry justifiable documents e.g. medical certificate or any other document attesting to the need of the LAG (liquids, aerosols and gels) during the trip in order to make it easier and quicker control through security.

1749-034 Lisbon - PORTUGAL
Notes:
These restrictions do not apply to liquids bought and packed in tamper-evident bags at stores at the airport beyond boarding pass control or on board an aircraft belonging to a European Union airline.
However, tamper-evident bags must not be opened before the security screening points and must, whenever possible, remained closed and tamper-proof until arrival at your final destination.
These measures do not apply to bags handed in at check-in desks as hold baggage.
Other measures:
Passengers' coats and jackets are screened separately from cabin baggage.
Laptop computers and other large electrical devices must be removed from cabin baggage before screening and screened separately.
Recommendations:
- Avoid carrying liquids in your cabin baggage;
- On reaching the screening points and before the x-ray machine, show any liquids that you are carrying to the security staff;
- Ask for any liquid that you buy after boarding pass control or on board an aircraft belonging to a European airline to be placed in a tamper-evident bag along with the receipt, preferably separately from other purchases;
- Do not open the tamper-evident bag until reaching your final destination, especially when taking connecting flights, as the liquids may be confiscated at another screening point.
