You can carry-on carrying-on with any of the three tropical organics or indigenous stories from SeaFlower-Australia - they meet the regulations perfectly - 100ml bottles packed in a clear see through zippable pouch.

Aircraft security regulations pretty much determine the quality and pleasure of a short and long sector flight these days. Its the long ones which really take their toll though and with most of one's travel necessities stowed in the hold of the aircraft now, just what personal 'accoutrement' can you take with you into the cabin?

Qantas and VirginBlue regulations, which are mandated by the Australian Government, are very specific and the last thing you want is a stand up argument (and potential arrest on suspicion of being a terrorist ((: ) with one of the hired security guards at the gate - "rules is rules and it doesn't matter who you are madam". The regulations apply to international flights and according to Qantas' website - www.qantas.com.au - you really need to be sure. So affected flights are:

• to and from Australia; or
• on an Australian domestic sector operated by an international flight.

Qantas recommend passengers pack liquids, aerosols and gels exceeding 100ml/3.3oz in your checked baggage wherever possible.

Carry on Baggage Restrictions

• All liquids, aerosols and gels must be carried in containers of no greater than 100ml/3.3oz capacity (approximately 100gm in weight).
• All containers must fit comfortably in a transparent, resealable plastic bag.
• The plastic bag must be no greater than 1 litre (1 quart) in capacity with a total outer edge measurement of the sealed section of the bag no larger than 80cm.
• There is a limit of one plastic bag per passenger.
• The plastic bag must be removed from carry on baggage and presented to security personnel at the checkpoint for inspection and separate x-ray screening.
• Containers larger than 100ml/3.3oz will not be accepted, even if only partially filled.

Liquids, aerosols and gels include, but are not limited to

• water and other drinks, soups, syrups, jams, stews, sauces and pastes;
• foods in sauces or containing a high liquid content;
• creams, lotions, cosmetics and oils;
• perfumes;
