Does anyone know what are the current restrictions for cabin luggage in terms of liquid (shampoo, shaving gel, etc)?
I can't find answer on their website.

Thanks
 
It's not their restrictions - check the airport
 
I am pretty sure its no more than 100ml and in clear plastic bags. check on the government site it hold say there
 
Seeing as your profile says you are from Birmingham I have assumed that you would be flying form Birmingham airport.

This is Birmingham airport policy:

Liquid restrictions
You are only allowed to take small quantities of liquid in your cabin baggage.

  • These liquids must be in individual containers, a maximum capacity 100ml each.
  • These liquids must be packed in one transparent, re-sealable plastic bag (20cmx 20cm)
  • Each passenger may only carry 1 such bag
Liquids include:
  • Water and other drinks, soups or syrups
  • Creams, lotions and oils
  • Perfumes
  • Sprays
  • Gels, including hair and shower gels
  • Contents of pressurised containers, including shaving foam, other foams and deodorants
  • Pastes, including toothpaste
  • Liquid-solid mixtures
  • Mascara
  • Any other item of similar consistency
You may still:
  • Pack liquids in any baggage you check in. Liquid restrictions only apply to cabin bags
  • Buy liquids such as drinks and perfumes in an EU airport after security or on board EU airlines
Medicine and baby food
  • Prescription medicines are allowed in cabin baggage but you must carry supporting documentation for the prescription.
  • Baby food and foodstuffs for special dietary requirements may be carried but you may be asked to taste the contents
Cabin baggage guidelines
  • Hand luggage dimensions must not exceed 56cm long, 45cm wide, 25cm deep (including wheels, handles, side pockets etc). Some airlines impose more restrictive dimensions so you must check with your airline before flying.
  • Musical instruments will be allowed (even if they do not fit the dimensions required for cabin baggage), these will be screened separately and you should check with your airline before flying
Sharp and pointed items
The following list is indicative of the type of item not permitted in cabin baggage. This is an example list and is not exhaustive. Please note this is in addition to the list of dangerous and illegal goods published by individual airlines.

  • Toy or replica guns
  • Catapults
  • Household cutlery
  • Knives with blades any longer than 6cm
  • Paper knives
  • Razor blades
  • Tradesman’s tools
  • Darts
  • Scissors with pointed tips and blades longer than 3cm
  • Sporting bats
  • Billiard, snooker or pool cues
  • Flammable liquids
  • Gas canister, butane energy cells

Thanks Keith for the search. I would have preferred to fly from Birmingham but I'm flying from Stansted.
I guess there is not much difference
 
Banned items includes knives with blades over 6 cms, so I assume knives with shorter blades are permitted? I didn't know that.

Over 6cm they are an offence and are confiscated. In the mid 90's would lead to you being arrested at Heathrow. But that might have been because our Ch. Supt wanted a job as head of BAA Security.

Under 6cm, they used to go in the hold. That may have changed though and they may now be confiscated.

Okay, thanks. I've flown through several airports with knives that don't meet the criteria for UK EDC (blade length and/or locks) in my checked baggage without any problems, but I thought all knives were prohibited in carry on bags. I used to travel with a Swiss Army knife, which was useful, and the smaller ones would comply with the 6cm rule if they are actually allowed. Not sure I'll take the chance though.
 
In the past, pre 9/11, a pocket knife would have had to go in the hold if it was found on you at the baggage search. Post? I don't know if the Airport Authorities will do that now.

Your hold baggage isn't searched in the same way as your cabin bags. They do get x-rayed, and they sometimes go to something called the cargo exam unit, where other things happen to it. But they aren't usually opened and searched.
