Dear Customer

Whilst we have only received official notification from European Airports that
the following security restrictions apply, in order to avoid disappointment, we
recommend that you apply the following to flights out of ALL airports, or that
you check in advance with the relevant consulate.
All liquids must be in individual containers not greater than 100ml capacity.
They must be placed in one transparent re-sealable bag, no larger than 20cm x
20cm (8" x 8") in size, and fit comfortably inside the bag so it can be
fastened closed
Only one bag per passenger is allowed. The bag must be clear and re-sealable,
such as 'ziplock' bags or bags with pressable seals. Larger bags or bags that
are sealable, such as fold-over sandwich bags are not allowed
Each passenger must remove their clear plastic bag from their hand baggage and
present the bag at Security Control
Liquids in containers of more than 100ml capacity can be packed in your hold
baggage

a limited quantity of liquids, ie gels, lotions, pastes, liquid cosmetics,
foams and foodstuffs, in their hand baggage when going through airport security
checkpoints. We recommend that most items are placed in your hold baggage and
only items of value or that you require whilst onboard the aircraft are carried
in your hand baggage. Cabin Baggage Each passenger is permitted to carry
ONE item of cabin baggage through the airport security search point. This item
should weigh no more than 5 kilos with the total dimensions of 115 cms (45
inches). Handbags may be carried within the single item of cabin baggage, but
not in addition to it. All items carried by passengers will be X-ray screened.
Cameras, (including digital, small electrical items such as mobile phones, MP3
players and game consoles can remain in the bag for screening. However, all
laptops and large electrical items must be removed from the bag and placed in a
separate tray. We strongly advise you to pack any liquids that you don't need
whilst onboard the aircraft in your hold baggage. However, if you do need to

Potential Delays XL Airways is doing everything possible to ensure on
time departures. However, due to the current situation delays are inevitable,
some of which may be significant. Passengers should ensure that they configure
their luggage in line with the new requirements before arriving at the airport
and must allow themselves sufficient extra time. All XL Airways flights have
operated during this period, and there has been no need to cancel any of our
services to this point. We will continue to do everything possible to ensure a
smooth transition through the airport, but we would ask passengers to be
patient and to cooperate fully with all airport security requests.
