What are the exemptions for medications in liquid, aerosol and gel form?
Medications in liquid, aerosol and gel form, such as insulin, cough syrups and nasal sprays, will be exempted from the new restrictions. Such items should be taken in quantities that are sufficient for the flight. A doctor’s letter or prescription, while not mandated, would be helpful in facilitating the security screening process. If the medications are in containers with a maximum capacity of not more than 100ml, passengers are encouraged to place the containers in the 1-litre transparent re-sealable plastic bag. If this is not possible or if the medications are in containers larger than 100ml, the medications will be subjected to further checks at the security screening point. Passengers may also be asked to taste their medications.
