To find out what you can take as carry on you should look on your airline's website. Different airlines have different rules for carry on including number of pieces, weight, size. Most international flights have an allowance of one piece plus a laptop bag or purse or similar but only your airline site can give the definitive answer.





The purpose of the quart size bag is for you to place any liquid or gels you carry as hand luggage into the bag and have it screened separately. If you look at the following site you can fully get to grips with what this is about.





One part of these rules is that any liquids and gels must be in containers not bigger than 3.4oz. If your prescribed medication is liquid or gel and comes in sizes larger than 3.4oz you can still carry it onboard but you must declare it to the security staff and if possible you should take a letter from your doctor outlining your medication and its necessity.

Yes you may take a carry-on bag and a purse. Only liquids need to be in the zip lock bag. See site below for the rules.
