Are there any restrictions for bath salts (magnesium flakes) in hand luggage flying within Europe?
In some sources it is written that you can carry bath salts:
- Carrying powder-type stuff in carry on - problems?
- Banned on board: Christmas gifts you can’t take on a flight:
Bath bombs are also allowed, but call them ‘bath salts’ in the airport, to avoid any misunderstandings at security!
But there are opposite articles:
- Transport Canada to ban large containers of bath salts and baby powder in carry-on luggage
- ryanair hand luggage restrictions - NON-LIQUID toiletries:
Returning from Nantes to Edinburgh yesterday on Ryanair, my 200g canister of sea salts for a foot bath was confiscated. I knew there was a 100 ml limit on liquids, obviously, but I can't find any information on the Ryanair site which mentions any restrictions on non-liquid toiletries.
The guy said I should have decanted the salts into two 100 ml bottles. I offered to decant them into two plastic bags, but he said it was the size of the container that counted, not the contents.
Do you have any experience with bath salts / magnesium flakes in hand luggage flying within Europe? If it is allowed, what's the limit for hand luggage?
Best Answer
There was no problem with 1kg magnesium flakes for cabin baggage. Security staff didn't know about the restrictions.
