Vietnam eases liquid restriction for domestic flights

Passengers traveling within Vietnam are now permitted to take on board an unlimited volume of liquids and gels as the country has eased its restriction.

Under a new circular issued by the transport ministry that went into effect on May 1, passengers on domestic flights are allowed to bring liquids, aerosols and gels in their carry-on luggage with no limitation on volume and container size.

Passengers of course will still have to abide by airlines' regulations on cabin luggage size.

The liquid restriction remains unchanged for international flights. Passengers to and from outside Vietnam are allowed to carry no more than one liter of liquids, aerosols and gels in total in their carry-on luggage, with each of their containers no larger than 100 ml.

The limit is not applied to baby formula and food for children who fly with their parents, nor to prescription medicine.
