Liquids when in transit (Dubai)
Flying F LHR-DXB-SYD next week with a short transit in DXB. I’d like to take the amenity kit from the LHR-DXB segment through to SYD but is there likely to be an issue with the liquids rule? I have done this flight before (last time was 4 years ago though) and I can’t remember what the transit procedure is.

I just passed through Dubai security a few days ago, it should be fine to take the amenity kit through. There's a limit on 100ml for liquids which should not be a problem with any of the items in the amenity kit.

You’re right - I forgot about the Oz extra security (it too has been a while since I went down there!).
They can be extra scrupulous before boarding, but the amenity kit should still be fine since the liquids are less than 100ml. An Evian bottle from the lounge may get withheld though.

I do this all the time (although never to Oz), for 'transit security' it's definitely not a problem. Came through 10 days ago and I don't think I even needed to take electronics out of my bag, I think some of their scanners are this new type which can see 3D (like they have in AMS now). Can't remember 100% sure as I was in F and the lady who accompanied me on the buggy and through security did everything so fast that it all sort of passed me by. But I definitely had an F kit in my bag and did not have to take it out.

Never had an issue with liquids transiting through DXB, to the point that I don’t even bother putting my own toiletries back in the plastic bag. I regularly have all sorts of liquids scattered through my hand baggage. They never ask to take them out and don’t seem concerned about liquids.

I have been doing this for almost 20 years and not once has it ever been a problem in DXB, including when I boarded EK408 for MEL last September with 7 amenity kits and 2 sets of pyjamas jammed into two grey F bags!
So I feel that chances are you will not have any problem boarding for SYD in DXB with one amenity kit in your carry-on.
