Effective 31 March 2007 the rules governing permissible carry-on items have changed for international passengers traveling via Bali's Ngurah Rai Airport.

The new rules fall into line with tighter security controls being introduced by airports worldwide. Changes in carry-on rules broadly address the carriage of Liquids, Aerosols and Gels (LAGs) and specifically stipulate:

• The maximum size of any liquid container, full or partially used, allowed past the international screening point is 100 ml.
• All 100 ml liquid containers presented for inspection to be carried on board an aircraft by a passenger must comfortably fit in a one-litretransparent re-sealable plastic bag (30cm x 40cm).
• The definition of (LAGs) liquids, aerosols and gels include, but are not limited to, water and other drinks; soups; syrups; jams; stews; sauces; pastes; foods in sauces or containing a high liquid content; creams; lotions; cosmetics; oils; perfumes; sprays; gels, including hair and shower gels; contents of pressurised containers, including shaving foam, other foam and deodorants; pastes including toothpaste; liquid-solid mixtures; mascara; lipsticks; lip gloss or lip balm; and any item of similar consistency at room temperature. This list is not exhaustive and screeners will make a determination about which items are permitted to be taken through screening points.
• Each passenger is limited to carrying only one plastic bag.
• All passengers must submit their person and all carry-on luggage for inspection. Baggage will receive both a visual inspection and x-ray examination.
• Passengers will be required to remove bulky coats and jackets and present them for screening before walking through the metal detector.
• Some medicines and medical devices are exempted from the new screening rules, including prescription medicine and prescribed medical devices. Passengers are recommended to bring supporting documentation (e.g. a physician's letter). All prescription medication should be in original containers bearing the name of the passenger matching the name on the boarding pass. Essential prescribed medicines may include angina sprays.
• Passengers bring non-prescription medications should know that a determination of a reasonable amount will be made based on the length of the flight, possible delays and flight diversions; essential non-prescription medicines may include cough syrups, children’s medications, insulin, clotting factors (for hemophiliacs), contact lens solution exceeding 100 ml, and inhalers (with spare canisters packed into checked baggage).
• Existing provisions for disability and medically-related items still apply.
