Placing these items in the small bag and separating from your carry-on baggage facilitates the screening process. Pack items that are in containers larger than 3.4 ounces or 100 milliliters in checked baggage. Any liquid, aerosol, gel, cream or paste that alarms during screening will require additional screening.
Please remember to pack your 10kg bag appropriately, e.g. with no liquids over 100ml. All customers with a carry-on bag with priority boarding (either purchased or included) must check in online or via the App.
You can carry sunscreen in your cabin bags. You will need to limit the volume to equal or less than 100 ml and place them inside a resealable plastic bag. In case travel-friendly containers do not offer you enough sunscreen, it is fine to bring large amounts if you pack them inside your hold luggage.
You are allowed to bring a quart-sized bag of liquids, aerosols, gels, creams and pastes through the checkpoint.These are limited to 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less per item. This is also known as the 3-1-1 liquids rule.
