On 30 June, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) introduced restrictions on the carriage of powder-like substances in cabin luggage on direct flights to the USA.
Passengers travelling to the USA are allowed to carry in their hand luggage powder-like substances – e.g. coffee, flour, sugar, cosmetics – with a total maximum weight of 350 g (based on the maximum packaging volume).
items purchased at the airport in the restricted zone (i.e. following security checkpoint), sealed at the point of sale, together with the receipt, in a Secure Tamper Evident Bag (STEB). STEBs are bags that can be checked for tampering and may be opened only at the destination airport.
Passengers travelling to the USA carrying powder-like substances in the amount exceeding 350 g are requested to put them in their registered luggage.
LIQUIDS: the restrictions on the carriage of liquids in hand luggage remain unchanged.
For more information on the carriage of powder-like substances on flights to the USA please go to the Polish Civil Aviation Authority website http://www.ulc.gov.pl/pl/.
#flyKRK flights to Chicago scheduled twice a week. Starting from next week, LOT Polish Airlines will fly directly from Kraków to Chicago twice a week (on Mondays and Fridays).
Before your flight, please make sure your documents are valid and entitle you to enter the destination country, and that you have a visa, if necessary. When crossing a border, children are required to present an ID card or a passport.
Please remember that it is prohibited to bring animal products to the EU territory. Restrictions similar to the EU ban on animal products also apply e.g. in the USA.
We also kindly remind passengers not to leave their luggage unattended at the airport, and report to the security checkpoint and passport checkpoint in advance.
