Baby Food Exempted from Some Aviation Rules
by: Gabriel Tan

Hi Esther

--------------------

First, some clarification:

Check-in luggage refers to the bags you pass to the officers during check-in. These are bags are stored in a compartment separate from the cabin - you have no access to them during flight.

Hand-carried luggage (also known as cabin luggage) refers to the bag you take into the cabin with you - you have access to it during flight.

So from the context of your question, I believe you want to know if you can take baby food and containers into the passenger cabin. (Let me know if you have meant otherwise.)

--------------------

The Singapore Airport has a set of 'Guidelines for Liquids, Aerosols and Gels in Hand-carry Luggage'.

According these guidelines, baby food will be exempted from the *usual restrictions, but will be subjected to additional checks at the security screening area.

You should be able take your baby food into the cabin, once they have verified that it is just baby food.

Exemption and additional checks also apply for medications and 'special dietary items'.

--------------------

* Usual restrictions

Liquids, aerosols and gels - if they are in hand-carried luggage - must be contained in transparent containers no larger than 100ml. These containers must also be put in a re-sealable transparent bag no larger than 1 litre in volume.

Note:

I'm not an official spokesperson for Changi Airport. So please clarify with the airport officers before you check in for your trip.
