Under EU regulations, passengers transferring via EU hub airports (including in the UK) are able to carry liquid duty-free items on to their connecting flight provided that the items have been purchased airside at an EU airport or on board an EU carrier, are supported by a receipt issued within the last 24 hours and remain in a sealed tamper-evident bag throughout the journey.
