- All medication needs to be identified with the medicine and/or manufacturer's name or have a pharmaceutical label attached. To properly dispose of a syringe/needle, passengers may use the syringe disposal chute in the lavatories, available on some aircraft. If a disposal chute is not available, contact a flight attendant for proper disposal.
- All charges are calculated on a one-way basis and are collected at the airport ticket counter.
- Code-share passengers will be charged as though they were traveling on one airline (fees will be that of the boarding carrier).

Liquids
The following regulations recommended by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) are being implemented at various international airports:
1. All liquids, gels and aerosols, pastes, lotions, creams, drinks and other items of similar consistency must be in containers with a capacity no greater than 100ml. Those carried in containers larger than 100ml will not be accepted, even if the container is only part-filled.
2. These containers must be placed in a transparent re-sealable plastic bag of a maximum capacity not exceeding one liter. Larger bags or bags that are non-sealable, such as fold-over sandwich bags, are not allowed.
3. The containers must fit comfortably within the transparent plastic bag, which is to be completely closed
4. The plastic bag to be presented for visual examination at the screening point. Only one transparent plastic bag per passenger will be permitted.
5. Exemptions will be made for medications, baby milk / foods and special dietary requirements. An appropriate and proportionate means of verifying the nature of such items will need to be available.
To facilitate screening and avoid a cluttered X-ray image, such plastic bags should be presented apart from other cabin baggage, coats, jackets and laptops for separate X-ray screening.
Passengers transiting in countries adhering to these measures may not be able to take duty free liquid goods past the transit security check.
Security Tamper-Evident Bags
As of 30 June 2007, liquids and gels in any volume, purchased at airport retail outlets (e.g. Dubai Duty Free) or on board the aircraft, will not be allowed through security screening points, unless they:
- are carried in a Security Tamper-Evident Bag (STEB); and
- have been protected from unlawful interference by a process of supply chain security (as applied in Dubai)
These bags, which have not yet been standardized internationally, are for use of passengers who purchase liquids and gels at airport Duty Free or other outlets and will be in transit at their next destination. Once sealed, the bags cannot be opened and then re-sealed without obvious indications.
What does “liquid” imply?
The regulation defines liquids widely because so many different types could be used as ingredients of explosives. Some things are evidently liquids, like drinks or perfume. Others are less obviously liquid, like covers gels, pastes, lotions, mixtures of liquids and solids and the contents of aerosols. Some examples are toothpaste, hair gel, face cream, hair gel, liquid soaps, deodorants and shaving foam.
Why does the new regulation apply to all of these? It is because evidence shows that explosives can be produced as pure liquids or as semi-liquid gels, so they can be presented in various forms.
IMPORTANT: Dubai Civil Aviation prohibits the acceptance of bags that weigh more than 70 pounds (32 kg) per single piece, into, out of or via Dubai International Airport. This does not affect the free baggage allowance, but helps in better distribution of weight.
Duty free purchases of liquor, cigarettes and perfume in reasonable quantities are also permitted in addition to the above.
Wheelie’ bags
Please note that rolling bags with built-in wheels and retractable handles will be permitted as cabin baggage only if the total dimensions (length, width and height) add up to less than 45 inches (114 cm). The larger, overnight models of this type of bag will not be permitted in the cabin. |
Cabin baggage safety
All cabin baggage must be of a size that fits under the seat in front of each passenger or in one of the overhead lockers. The placement of bags, briefcases, or other items behind passengers' legs is not permitted, and it is essential that cabin baggage does not obstruct aisles or emergency exits, as this is forbidden by the Civil Aviation Authority.
Of equal importance is a limitation on weight, which helps minimize the risk of injury to passengers, should a bag fall from an overhead locker.
