The following items are not allowed into the cabin of the aircraft or beyond the screening checkpoint and should therefore be packed in checked baggage:

• Passengers travelling with electronic devices, electrical equipment or battery operated devices must place these items in their carry-on for screening. Customers must show that the items are in good working order otherwise they will be confiscated by security. If a passenger fails to remove electronic devices from their checked baggage and the item is discovered during the screening, their baggage will be removed from the flight.
• Passengers may bring baby formula, food or milk onboard the cabin if they are travelling with a baby or small child under the age of 2 years. These items must be declared at each security checkpoint.
