Can I carry liquids in my hand luggage?
Liquids (including creams and gels) can only be carried in accordance with the following requirements:
โ The volume of containers holding liquids must not exceed 100 ml. Even if the liquid itself is only 50 ml, the container it is in must hold no more than 100 ml. To prevent disputes with security, it is recommended to use liquid containers (tubes, jars, etc.) that indicate their volume.
โ All containers must be stored in a single, resealable, transparent plastic bag. Many airlines require the bag to be approximately 20x20 cm. The total capacity must not exceed 1 liter (i.e., you can take 10 bottles, each no more than 100 ml, in your hand luggage).
โ Each passenger is allowed to carry only one such bag in their hand luggage.
โ The bag containing liquid containers must be presented separately at the hand luggage screening.
You can read about special containers and bags for packing liquids in our post on luggage packing.
Baby food, which may be needed during the flight, does not need to be placed in a plastic bag, but it must be presented to security. Be prepared that you may be asked to open baby food jars and taste the contents.
Medications can be carried in hand luggage. However, please note that if the medications contain narcotic substances or are in large quantities (several packages of the same drug), you may be asked for a prescription for the drug or a doctor's note.
Aerosols, such as panthenol spray, etc., are prohibited in hand luggage. The only exceptions are aerosols that are necessary during the flight for medical reasons, for example, for asthma, but in this case, a confirming diagnosis, a doctor's document, or a prescription is required.
