Flying to LA Soon

I am glad I am not flying to London today. Here are the new American Arline rules to UK.

Nothing may be carried in passengers' pockets. Passengers may only take the following items through the airport security checkpoint, in a single (ideally transparent) plastic carrier bag:


- pocket size wallets and pocket size purses
- plus contents (money, credit cards, identity cards, etc. but not handbags)
- travel documents essential for the journey (passports and travel tickets)
- prescription medicines and medical items sufficient and essential for the flight (a diabetic kit for example), except in liquid form unless verified as authentic.
- spectacles and sunglasses, without cases
- contact lens holders, without bottles of solution
* for those travelling with an infant:
-baby food, milk (the contents of each bottle must be tasted by the accompanying passenger) and sanitary items sufficient and essential for the flight (wipes, creams, disposal bags)
- female sanitary items sufficient and essential for the flight, if unboxed
- tissues (unboxed) and/or handkerchiefs
- keys (but no electrical key fobs)
