hi, im going away tomorrow with mrs TFC and i wonder can i now take my ipod in my hand luggage or does it have to be stowed?
i have studied some operators' website and the DOT but nothing obvious there to answer this query.
a speedy response would be appreciated.

you are permitted to take an ipod in your hand luggage.
(It is not a paste, liquid, cream or gel)
Happy travels :D

The answer is YES. You can take all the usual items apart from anything that is water based - including Cosmetics/Drinks etc. Also the size has been reduced to roughly a briefcase sized bag.

I flew from Charleroi to Prestwick yesterday. I asked at security if it was possible to take my lipbalm and a bottle of juice. The security officers I spoke to looked at me as if I had two heads! I even showed the items to other officers when I went through the security search and they didn't seem in the least bit concerned.

james - they would look at you strangely and not just because they're Belgian!
The rules about liquids etc etc and hand baggage apply to people travelling OUT of the UK and TRANSITING through the UK. If your journey finishes in the UK, you can pack normally unless there are any additional local rules where you are (none at Charleroi afaik).

lip balms, liquid/cream foundations, mascaras etc can not be carried in hand luggage!
any CREAM, PASTE, GEL, or LIQUID can NOT be carried in hand luggage.

I hope it's being kept up to date. It's also probably that this only covers EZY-operated routes. But it's a start.

:hmm:
So may one take on board, in suitable plastic containers the following:
1. Tooth powder.
2. Snuff.
3. Ant powder.
4. Talcum powder.
5. Medicated prescription foot powder?
:confused:

Not through Paris CDG, you can't. Or not according to job-security at terminal 2E on Saturday, who deprived my colleague of several sachets of non-prescription medication, on the grounds that "you can mix it with water to create an explosive".
I argued the toss quite vigorously, but in vain. :mad:

From the EZY link:
From France:
Passengers are not allowed to carry liquids in hand baggage, and are requested to limit themselves to one piece of hand baggage.
Nice: No hand baggage is currently allowed onboard aircraft (this includes goods bought from shops in the departures area).
Errr....anyone know why is Nice different to all the rest of France?
FYI .. Bordeaux has sane security guys, they are only confiscating liquids and searching as per normal.
Regards, SD..
Sounds like TLS is similar to Bordeaux, i.e. security are doing a secondary search at the gate of all pax bound for the UK ( BA and EZE) and removing any liquids found in hand baggage. However EZE seem also to have banned handluggage ( perhaps to reduce delays due to secondary search).
As for Nice???

As for Nice???Don't know why, but I did notice that Nice features specially in EZY's "State of the Union" page (http://www.easyjet.com/EN/Book/business_as_usual_18_aug_06.html):-From France:
Passengers are not allowed to carry liquids in hand baggage, and are requested to limit themselves to one piece of hand baggage.
