Otherwise, they need to be packed in your hold luggage. Liquids must be taken out of your hand luggage at security and carried through in a clear resealable 20cm x 20cm plastic bag. Laptops and large electrical items will also need to be taken out of your hand luggage and screened separately.
Any medicines or medical equipment that you need during the flight can be brought onto the plane, although if possible you should have a prescription or a letter from your doctor.
