*All* Carry-on Baggage charges Queries & Questions ...

Louche Lad

Would airport security be OK about bringing a sharpening steel in a carry-on bag? I mean one of these things, which could look like a weapon to some people:

spurious

I would say that's a no. It looks capable of causing injury.

Locker. Since when have inhalers been generally banned on airlines? What airlines " generally" allow or don't allow them? I have flown to Europe, USA,Indonesia in the past and have always been able to use nicotine inhalers (use very few 1 or 2 on long haul flights). Will I have to switch to patches or gum which I do not like in future?

Well I don't know exactly what your inhaler is but those false cigarettes and eCiggs were banned shortly after the became popular, for example the eCiggs can actually set off the toilet fire alarm.

Noob question:

Do toiletries such as lotion tub, deodorants, face wash, razors etc have to be in a 'transparent plastic bag.' (under 100ml of course)

It's been a while since i've gone through airport security but as far as I remember, I usually put my toiletries in a pencil case type bag which is not transparent.

Is this ok or should I put them in a plastic bag/maybe in checked luggage if there's space.

Firstly it's only liquids that that rule applies to. In amounts of 100ml or less.

Secondly, depending on who you meet at the scanner, they have to be in a particular size of plastic, resealable bag. I've gone through with my stuff in a freezer bag from the kitchen and had no problems. I've also gone through and been made decant everything from the freezer bag into one of their plastic resealable bags. There's no telling until you pitch up there. But they certainly must be in some sort of a clear resealable bag.

At least they're no longer stinging you for a euro for them. They usually have some left around the place that you can use.

If you're checking a bag in, easiest to just put the lot into that.

Another quick question:

Are used empty water bottles ok through security?
I'd fill them up with a fountain or in the bathroom afterwards.

HeidiHeidi

I believe so. I've never tried to bring one through but I've read that you can.

Worst that can happen is you have to bin it at the scanners and buy another one inside!

Thanks!!!

Liquids include gels, paste, lotions, lip gloss, etc. You should be ok with the empty bottle

A spray deodorant is fine right?

Nope, unless it's under 100ml

Just to clarify, it's the individual container capacity that counts, not the 'amount' it contains. That means that you won't be allowed to bring liquid in a 200ml container, even if it's clearly less than half full.

As long as the capacity is stamped on the outside of the container and does not exceed 100ml, it will be fine. The clear plastic bag must be resealable and have a capacity of one litre.

Is a small suitcase okay (one that has gotten on a Ryanair flight)? And could I bring a backpack as well for cabin baggage or does it have to be in the suitcase as well?
Thanks

dudara

A standard cabin-sized suitcase and a small backpack is fine.

cobham

It is OK to bring empty liquid containers that are larger capacity than the 100 ml. I finished a drink in the security Q last week then kept empty with me it with me as did not see a bin handy at the time.

conor_ie

Isn't there bins before security for plastic bottles and things like that.. I could be wrong!

cobham

Yes there is in Dublin and people also pile them up on the counter. I was in a different airport last week and was finishing up my 300ml bottle at last minute and openly put it in the tray to go thru and no problem. I dumped it 'airside'. I have brought home empty water bottles from Spain as I like the design (dark blue with large top opening).

Can anybody provide a link or explain what the situation is with carry on baggage for Ryanair?

I've been told conflicting stories by two different sources and cannot find an up to date link on the Internet.

Thanks for your help!

Has anyone been brave enough to test that out!

The reason I ask is I was in JFK with my friend recently who uses eCigs that look like cigarettes. The flight to Dublin was delayed. She was itching for a hit of nicotine, and the daft mare went into the toilets in the Departure Area and used her eCig. She told me she blew the vapour into her handbag! Nothing happened.

So back and forth she went. I couldn't believe it.

But she would not attempt it on the plane. Anyway it was an overnight flight so we fell asleep anyway.

I am not advocating breaking any rules, just saying that this is what happened. And I would say lots of people do it in every airport. Vapour is not smoke, so it seems!!

-1 trolley case
-1 handbag/ small laptop bag.( to be placed under the seat infront )
*on busy flights your trolley bag may be tagged and placed into the hold due to lack of stowage space in the cabin, this is done free of charge

Its on their website:

One cabin suitcase and one handbag/laptop case per person. They have eased up big time on checking.

Re the plastic bag i use a large freezer one to get more stuff in (i have very sensitive skin that needs certain items) and i fold the freezer bag and put it into the corner of the tray so it looks like the regulation size and i have yet to be stopped. I travelled to 16 countries this year with no problems!

Does anyone know if Ryanair allow raw meat (spiced beef) to be brought through security in my hand luggage? I am flying from Dublin to Hungary and only taking hand luggage. Thanks

As Fred Swanson indicated, Ryanair and airport security wouldn't care about meat.

According to this random page, Hungary allows meat from other EU countries.
