Before check-in, passengers are asked to get rid of, in a specially designed area, all objects that, in accordance with the current regulatory framework and in compliance with basic safety standards, are not permitted inside the aircraft. This includes liquids, aerosols and gels (LAGs*) and objects not allowed in the cabin (ONACs).
