Glasgow Airport is one of the most popular airports in the country with many across Scotland taking flights from this location.
However, travelling by plane can become a stressful task when rules and regulations are not adhered to, spoiling the start of your holiday.
This is why we have decided to answer some of the most commonly asked hand luggage questions.
Why are there restrictions on liquids at UK airports?
The current liquid rules were implemented in 2006 to prevent those with hostile intent from carrying explosive liquids onto planes.
This rule is set to change by 2024 with the installation of new technology in airports throughout the country.
Edinburgh Airport is among those installing the new scanners, with the location recently purchasing the updated baggage checkers.
Does the 100ml liquid rule still apply at Glasgow Airport?
The restrictions on liquids in hand luggage still apply at Glasgow Airport with liquids needing to be stored in 100ml or less containers to be allowed on flights.
According to Glasgow Airport, liquids in larger containers will not be allowed through security.
Those with larger containers will need to pack these in their hold luggage.
The only exemptions on hand luggage liquids at Glasgow Airport apply to baby food/milk (this may be checked by security), liquid medicines (evidence in the form of a GP note may be required) and airport purchases.
Do toothpaste, lipstick and mascara count as liquids at Glasgow Airport?
According to the Post Office website, "liquids" include drinks, partially or fully liquid food like honey, and toiletries like make-up, perfume, creams, lotions, gels, mascara, lip gloss/stick and toothpaste.
Sprays, aerosols, gels and contact lenses also count as liquids.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
