HONG KONG\u2014Following recent U.S. Transportation Security Administration mandates, Hong Kong-based airline HK Express will implement new screening measures on powder-like substances. <\/p>\n
Effective Saturday, June 30, 2018, substances exceeding 12 ounces or 350ml may only be carried in checked baggage. <\/p>\n
If found in carry-on bags, such substances could be subject to additional screenings or potentially discarded. <\/p>\n
The updated policy affects only outbound HK Express flights to the U.S. territory of Saipan. All other HK Express routes remain unaffected. <\/p>\n
Examples of substances that may be subject to scrutiny or restricted from carry-on include cosmetic powders, dry spices and protein powders. Substances such as baby formula, cremated human remains, medically prescribed items and duty-free powders inside a properly sealed Secure Tamper Evident Bag are exempted, but may be subject to additional security screening. <\/p>\n
For security purposes, travelers may be asked to separate dense powders from other items. To avoid inconvenience, passengers are advised to carry any powders exceeding 350ml in their checked baggage. <\/p>\n
HK Express will continue to adhere and abide by all introduced TSA measures. If unsure about items in their carry-on baggage, guests are recommended to contact HK Express\u2019 Call Centre at +852 3902 0288, or visit the airline\u2019s official website www.hkexpress.com for further details.
