My recent experiences with liquids carry on rules

I've blogged a few times on the evolving liquids in carry on rules, most recently here.

I've recently flown through some 15 countries so thought it may be useful to some to show how apparently similar rules can be widely interpreted. Before the trip I found quality information on the rules hard to find (for some countries) - with various official and airline websites having contradictory rules.

Australia - same rule as USA (100ml liquids and gels within clear sealable zip plastic bag no more than 1 litre). Applies on both arriving and departing international flights. Domestic flights are exempt but not if they use the international terminals as some do - check with your airline. Duty free liquids are allowed but only in sealed bags from the departing or most previous airport if in transit, purchased same day as the flight, and with receipt clearly visible.

EU excluding UK - same rule as USA except only on departure and EU-wide duty free liquids are okay (ie not just from the departing airport).

New Zealand - same rule as USA but only applies to departing international flights. Domestic flights are exempt but not if they use the international terminals as some do - check with your airline.

Pakistan - no liquids at all. Gels are okay.

Philippines - no liquids at all, but at transit security they didn't care (NB I wasn't carrying any duty free liquids or water bottles).

Russia - liquids and gels are okay. No sprays allowed.

Singapore - same rule as USA but only applies to departing flights.

Sri Lanka - same rule as USA? (Sorry I wasn't fully awake going through security here.)

United Kingdom - same as EU but also only 1 carry on, no personal items except for coat.

USA - same rule as Australia except applies for all flights (domestic and international).

Vietnam - unclear. I left my baggie inside my carry on.
