Zagreb airport security: liquids in a one-litre bag, electronics out, and lighters carried on the person

Passengers going through security at Zagreb's Franjo Tuđman Airport must present liquids, aerosols and gels in containers of up to 100 ml inside one transparent plastic bag with a capacity of up to one litre, according to the airport's official security guidance. Larger containers are not allowed into the aircraft cabin.

Medicines, special diets and baby food are the exceptions: they may be carried outside the clear bag but must be presented separately. Drinks, toiletries, jams and sauces above 100 ml belong in checked baggage, while dried fruit and nuts are allowed in both hand and hold luggage.

At the checkpoint, laptops and other electronic devices such as mobile phones and cameras must be separated, and coats, jackets, belts, watches and hats are screened as a separate item; passengers should also expect to remove their shoes. People with a pacemaker should tell security staff before passing through the metal-detector gate. Lighters and matches may be taken on board but not in hand luggage: they must be carried on the person.

Some items are restricted to the hold, including knives over 6 cm, scalpels, knitting and sewing needles, most tools and heavy bicycle locks, while camping gas and electric scooters are not accepted in either hand or checked baggage. The airport notes that security staff make the final decision at the screening point, so travellers unsure about an item should check the guidance before packing.
