Is it ok to bring liquids back in hand luggage from India?
Emily L asked:
I think my suitcase will be overweight and have some cosmetic products I would like to bring back in my hand luggage, is this OK as I think the liquid guidelines is a UK only thing?

Liquid guidelines aren’t just a UK thing.
I suggest you contact your airline and check with them before you end up having the cosmetics confiscated. probablygraham
In australia you must have the liquids in a reseable bag and they only allow Liquid to be in containers of 100 millilitres/grams or less. It aslo depends on what type of liquids.

The Liquid guidelines is and international standard for international flights and in some places also domestic flights. In Australia you are allowed liquids which are not things like acid, lighter fluid and other very highly flammable things in your carry on baggage for domestic flights but the moment you go for an international flight the liquids have to be in a ziplock bag and no more than 100ml per container and I think it is up to 1L worth. They can be ridiculously fussy. I had a liquid paper pen in a plastic bag wrapped around many many times to make it so it couldn’t leak in my bag. It wasn’t ziplocked though. Because the plastic bag didn’t have the ziplock on a flight from Hilo (Big Island in Hawaii) to Honolulu (Oahu Hawaii) they refused to let me through security without disposing of the pen or putting it in my checked in baggage!!! I’d travelled to 4 continents and about 20 countries with that pen in my bag with no problems until that time!
I’d put your liquids in your checkin baggage and get other things which would most likely weigh more out. If you have stuff like a large bottle of shampoo which might add half a kilograam on to the baggage weight but isn’t too pricey to replace, if your baggage is overweight chuck that out. Wrap a jumper around your waste if it is T-Shirt weather, wear your heaviest clothes, put some books in your carryon baggage if you have any. Stuff like that will hopefully get your baggage down a bit. If you are returning to the UK maybe even wear two layers of clothes because it will be quite cold and that would reduce the baggage weight even more. Pack heavier items which are not going to get confiscated through security in your carry on bag and hopefully they don’t weigh it (only do this if you have a small bag because larger bags do usually get weighed and then you’d have to put it in checkin baggage).

Basically no! The rule on liquids through airport security affects all passengers at all airports. So you will have the same 100ml restrictions on your return as when you left. If you have to shed weight to avoid excess baggage charges, then leave stuff that is of a lower value, or get a larger carry on bag, and pack it with heavier items (but not to heavy as you’ll still need to lift it into the overhead bin). Thus lightening you checked luggage.
You could look to see exactly what your airline allows in terms of luggage amounts. trailblazer
The liquids guidelines are pretty much world wide. You won’t be able to take much in your carry on. pelican
