Liquid Limits for Lawyers Professionals in 2026

As we embark on our air travel journey, it's crucial to ensure a smooth and
and hassle-free experience. For lawyers professionals, navigating the compl
complexities of air travel can be daunting, particularly when it comes to c
complying with strict liquid limits. In this comprehensive guide, we will d
delve into the regulations and guidelines set by the Philippine National Po
Police Aviation Security Group (Avsegroup) and the Office for Transportatio
Transportation Security (OTS), providing you with a clear understanding of 
what's allowed and what's not.

Understanding Liquid Limits

The Avsegroup and OTS remind travelers that liquids, aerosols, gels, and sp
sprays (LAGs), including similar toiletry items, are prohibited in hand-car
hand-carry baggage if they exceed the prescribed limits. This includes pres
pressurized containers like shaving cream, deodorants, hair gels, lotions, 
toothpaste, perfumes, and sprays – all of which must be packed properly to 
avoid any issues during security screening.

The 100ml Rule

Any LAGs in containers with a capacity larger than 100ml are not acceptable
acceptable in hand-carry/cabin luggage, even if the container is only parti
partially filled. To ensure compliance, it's essential to understand that e
each passenger is limited to one transparent, resealable plastic bag (20x20
(20x20cm or 25x15cm) with a maximum capacity of one liter.

Exceptions and Guidelines

While most LAGs are prohibited in hand-carry baggage, there are some except
exceptions. Baby formula and breast milk are allowed, but if a passenger tr
traveling with a bottle-fed child has above 100ml, the items must be declar
declared at the screening checkpoint for inspection.

Local carriers Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific, and AirAsia Philippines a
adhere to Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) guidelines reg
regarding power banks. These guidelines use Watt-hours (Wh) rather than mil
milliampere-hours (mAh) to determine limits.

Prohibited Items

The Avsegroup also urges air travelers not to bring firearms, toy guns, fla
flares, paintball equipment, stun guns, electronic bug zappers, knives, and
and other sharp objects. Chemical substances are strictly prohibited on air
aircraft, as certain mixtures can create hazardous reactions or pose a thre
threat to life and property, regardless of official dangerous goods classif
classification.

Conventional Security Controls

All conventional security controls and checks, including random hand search
searches of passengers and cabin bags, are applicable. The Avsegroup emphas
emphasizes that compliance with these guidelines is crucial for ensuring th
the safety and security of air travelers.

liquid limits and prohibited items outlined by the Philippine National Poli
Police Aviation Security Group (Avsegroup) and the Office for Transportatio
Transportation Security (OTS). By understanding these guidelines and adheri
