What are the rules for travelling with liquids in your cabin bag?
You are allowed to bring 1 litre of liquids in your cabin bag, in containers of 100 millilitres each. Put all containers in a transparent and resealable plastic bag. By ‘liquids’, we mean toiletries such as perfume, shampoo, toothpaste, mascara and deodorant, etc.
What are liquids?
Besides the examples mentioned above, fluids also include gels, cremes, lotions, ointments, pastes and spray cans. Water, soft drinks, juices, alcoholic beverages, syrups and soups are also considered liquids.
Containers larger than 100 millilitres
Good to know: containers of over 100 millilitres in size are not allowed, even if they contain less than 100 millilitres of fluids. However, fluids in containers of more than 100 millilitres you have bought after the security check can be taken on the plane.
Baby food
There is an exception for baby food. You do not have to put baby food in a transparent plastic bag. You can bring as much liquid or ready-made baby food as your baby needs during the flight. You can also bring up to 100 millilitres of boiled water in your hand luggage to mix with formula.
Liquid medicine (e.g. insulin), medical luggage and special luggage
Different rules apply for those. View the rules for medicines on board, medical baggage and special baggage.
Regarding the transport of syringes and needles:
The transport of epicutaneous needles and syringes on board (in the cabin) is only allowed with a medical prescription. Please ensure you have a letter from your doctor confirming the type of treatment and the reason for its administration during the flight. You must administer the necessary injections yourself during the flight. The cabin crew is not permitted, under any circumstances, to administer medication, including injections. If you need to use your needles, please inform the crew so they can provide you with a dedicated sharps container for safe disposal.
