flights to US

[digbydog]

Does anyone know a good site that tells you exactly what is and isn't allowed in hand luggage so confused says one thing in press and media another on airport sites about what is allowed and what isn't. Go on holidays in just over a week to US and want to know what to pack where!

Here's the BAA leaflet with the general restrictions (for all destinations):

However, the BAA website adds this, about flights to the USA:
"Extra restrictions are in place. Passengers will be subjected to secondary security searches at the gate. No toiletries or cosmetics purchased in the departure lounge will be allowed into the aircraft cabin and any drinks or liquid items must be consumed before boarding. Food, however, is allowed. Passengers boarding flights to the USA and items they are carrying, including those acquired after the central screening point, will be subjected to secondary search at the gate and any liquids discovered will be removed.

If you are in any doubt about what you can and cannot take on board please ask a member of staff."
