How many clear plastic bags are you allowed to take your liquids through security? Is it just 1 per person?
Flying from BHX on Friday with hand luggage only.

I've read somewhere, although can't remember for the life of me where (probably an airport guide rather than an airline guide) that it's one bag per person and a maximum of 10 items. This includes make-up and mascara is classed as liquid so should be included in the plastic bag.

Thank you both for your prompt reply.

One per person and I've never had a limit on items as long as the bag will close properly . The only issue I've ever had was leaving Tasmania when my diddy hairspray didn't have a cap and the security officer made a HUGE deal about it .The fact I'd flown without a cap on it ex LHR, HKG, SYD and MEL into Tassie cut no ice and he confiscated it . Bonkers!

I knew I'd read something somewhere about a max of 10 items. I think they got to this calculation as you can only carry an overall max of 1L of liquids in max 100ml containers.

You wouldn't get 10 x 100ml containers in a 20cm x 20cm clear plastic bag

Many thanks again for the extra information.
