Easy jet and hold baggage

loulou41

Son is due to travel to Budapest next week for four days. He does not want to check in and want to carry a small backpack with him on the plane. I am wondering with the current restrictions whether he will be allowed to carry his toileteries, also he will have a razor blade and that I know, it's a no, no on the plane. Thanks

No toiletries or cosmetics or anything containing liquid are allowed in hand baggage.

Read list here and here

He would have to check his luggage in

Thanks, but can you take your mobile phone and mp3 player on the plane? It seems you cannot even take a bottle of water with you.

You cannot take fluids or gels THROUGH SECURITY. Once through you can buy what you like - including water - and take it on the plane.

There are no restrictions on electronics except that they have to go through the scanners separately

Of course that's the situation today, tomorrow, next week, next month, next year may be different

at manchester airport 31/8/06 and jfk 15/9/06 our hand luggage was scanned with electrical items in them. it may be that different airports are adopting different procedures ....the checks were less 'invasive' than other times we've been through security (shoes being removed the exception in the UK )

Flew with Easyjet last week. MP3 player and mobile phone both fine in hand baggage.

You can take safety razor blades on the plane. I was most surprised when I read that on the security notice as I waited in the security q at Stansted last week.
