| Departure Lounge/Duty Free Purchases |

| Liquid items purchased in the Departure Lounge, of any size, can be carried onto the aircraft. |
| |
| Goods are normally put in a special sealed bag - this seal should not be opened until you reach your final destination. Also retain your proof of purchase throughout your journey. |
| |
| There are however restrictions that apply to duty free purchases made on return journeys where passengers change at an EU airport onto connecting flights. These are explained in detail in the next section. |

Special Information for Connecting Passengers |

| |
- they conform to the requirements for passengers departing from EU airports as set out above; or
- they have been purchased airside at another EU airport, or on board an aircraft operated by an EU carrier. You will need to show proof of purchase to demonstrate this.
