The restrictions explained
The new restrictions: a simple explanation
The New Zealand Government has introduced new restrictions on the amount of liquids, aerosols and gel items that can now be carried in the cabin of international flights.
You can now only carry liquids, aerosols or gels in your hand luggage if each container is no more than 100ml, and these containers collectively can fit comfortably into one re-sealable, 20cm x 20cm (or smaller) transparent plastic bag.
If you plan to take any liquids, aerosols or gels greater than this amount with you on your trip, then they will need to be packed into your check-in luggage. Existing restrictions related to explosive or flammable items remain in place.

Non-prescription medicines are also exempt; however only the amount required for the duration of the flight should be carried with you in your hand luggage. Medical items such as sprays, insulin, contact lens solution and cough syrups are also exempt. |
