Liquids in hand baggage issue - Ryanair

I noticed the rule for liquids on Ryanair site, but I'm still a bit confused..

It says
"Liquids carried must be in a container of no more than 100ml (3.4 ounces).
All liquids should be carried in a single, transparent, re-sealable plastic bag of up to 20cm x 20cm with a total capacity of up to a litre.
You must be able to completely close the bag and be able to fit it in your hand baggage.
The bag of liquids must be taken out of other hand baggage to be screened separately."

Does that mean I can carry more than one re-sealable plastic bags and make sure each of them is no mre than 100ml? I have skincare products and cosmetics to carry :(

    no, you get one see-through resealable bag, of the maximum dimension you posted above, per person.

    no single item can be larger than 100ml size, and in total in your see-through bag, you can carry a maximum of 1000ml (1 litre) of products, so for example, 10 items of 100ml each, if they will all fit in your see-through bag.

    Thank you very much! I may also take a look at Boots after security I think :)

    It's airport security that enforce the rules not Ryanair, and at many airports it's the airport that charges you for the plastic bag if you need one.
    Turning left avoids some of the idiots (only some)

    You can get the bags from Tesco - I think they are around £1.50 for a pack of 80.

    And Boots do most products; which airport are you flying from? If you have any special requests, you can order online and pick up in store from the airside.

    Just don't do what my mate did a few weeks ago.


    He went with 5 of his mates, down to his house on the Spanish/Portugal border for a long weekend golfing. On the way to the airport, they presented him with a bottle of his favourite scent, as a thankyou from them all, valued at £60.


    He put it in his small hand case , not realising he should have put it in a clear bag. Security at Faro, took it off him and confiscated it as it wasn't in a bag, he didn't have the option to put it in a bag and rescan it, just taken off him.


    Just be aware that all of the cosmetics, MUST fit into 1 clear bag, or put some in your partners one, if you need more space, but it must not add up to more than 1 litre, per person.

    Make sure you know what 'liquids' includes.

    Toothpaste, spray deodorants also need to be in the clear bag.

    OH uses stick gel deodorant (Lynx) I'm never sure if this is classed as a liquid/gel so that goes in with my liquids too.
