Liquid restrictions outside the EU & U.K
Countries outside the EU might have different rules on carrying liquids as a transit or transfer passenger. You should check these rules with the relevant airports before travelling.
Lighters & Matches
You can only carry one (1) lighter on your person, which is filled with (fully absorbed) liquid gas fuel. The carrying of safety matches is also only allowed on your person.
