Dubai, April 8: UAE's national airline Emirates have cautioned its passengers against carrying liquids, pastes and gels under the new safety rules notified covering hand luggage.

The airline has clarified that any liquid in containers larger than 100ml will have to be handed over before boarding.

This restriction will apply to all fluids as well as aerosol sprays and creams, Emirates Today reported.

As carry-on duty-free items could be confiscated during transit desk security checks, Dubai Duty Free has introduced a service that allows passengers to have goods placed in the aircraft hold at the departure gate.

Airline baggage tags are attached to these items and passengers are able to collect them at their final destination along with their checked baggage.

Passengers will be permitted to have one bag no greater than 56cm x 45cm x 25cm compared with the existing 55cm x 38cm x 20cm.
