As part of international safety measures to protect you and your loved ones when travelling, some items may be prohibited on the aircraft. It is an offence if you fail to comply with these measures, as the safety of all passengers on the flight could be compromised.
Generally, you must not take on board items listed below. Do note that these lists are not exhaustive.
Singapore implemented guidelines that restrict the amount of liquids, aerosols and gels (LAGs) that passengers can carry in their hand-carried luggage. LAGs that do not meet the guidelines must be checked-in.
Guidelines on LAGs
These apply to all flights departing from Singapore.
LAGs purchased at Changi which are in containers larger than 100ml should be kept sealed in their sealed tamper-evident bags provided by the shops, with the receipt clearly displayed in the sealed bags.
Shopping within Public Area
If you have purchased LAGs from shops within Changi Airport's Public Areas, please place the items into your check-in luggage prior to checking-in for your flight. If the items do not exceed a maximum capacity of 100ml per container, you may hand-carry them in the 1-litre transparent and re-sealable plastic bag, which must be completely closed.
Shopping within Departure Transit Area
You can continue to purchase LAGs, such as liquor, wine, beer, perfumes and cosmetics, at shops located within Changi Airport's Departure Transit Area.
Please ensure that LAGs purchased at Changi which are in containers larger than 100ml should be sealed in security tamper evident bags, with the receipt clearly displayed in these bags.
If your items are in containers with a maximum capacity of not more than 100ml each, you may choose to hand-carry them in the 1-litre transparent and re-sealable plastic bag, which must be completely closed.
If you are transferring or transiting at other airports, please check the restrictions applicable at those airports.
Do check with Changi Airport shop staff for details.
If you are travelling to Australia or the United States, or are travelling on United Airlines, you are strongly encouraged to check with your airline if you are eligible to purchase LAGs (liquor, perfumes and cosmetics only) in Changi or refer to this guide. If eligible, you must make your purchase at least 90 minutes prior to the departure time. For all other passengers, there is no cut-off time for the purchase of LAGs in Changi Airport prior to the departure time.
