Question
Hi Roberto,

I am travelling from Paris to Baharin by Gulf air.

Can I carry perfumes in the cabin luggage; If so, do I need to put it in the zip top bag and are there any limitations on quantity?

Secondly, can I carry a hand bag in addition to the cabin bag.

Answer
Dear Kaustubh,

The TSA rule is adopted worldwide and consists in:

3 ounce bottle or less; 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag; 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin. One-quart bag per person limits the total liquid volume each traveler can bring. 3 oz. container size is a security measure.

Below are Gulf Air hand baggage allowances:

First & Business Class:
One bag (maximum dimensions 55 x 40 x 30 cms or 22 x 16 x 12 inches),
Or
One garment carrier (maximum width 20cms or 8 inches),
Plus
One briefcase (maximum dimensions 45 x 40 x 30 cms or 18 x 14 x 8 inches).
Total weight: 9 kgs

Economy Class:
One bag (maximum dimensions 45 x 40 x 30 cms or 17 x 15 x 12 inches)
Total weight: 6 kgs

Best Regards,
R. Gomes
