• The requirements related to the provision of information to passengers to identify that passengers must be presented with the applicable information on operator booking and checking websites.

• Limitations (hand carry)Limitations (hand carry)

• Diamond‐shaped pictograms on packages may indicate the presence of dangerous goods. These diamond‐shaped pictograms are required by the Globally Harmonized System for Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) and form part of the hazard communication system for supply and use.

• The provisions applicable to portable electronic devices, including medical devices containing lithium batteries and spare batteries have been restructured to set the requirements out in three parts:

1. Spare lithium batteries above a specified size, which are permitted only with the approval of the operator, and that must be in carry‐on baggage;
