Is a drink bottle allowed through security?
You’re flying from Schiphol and you have arrived at the airport security check with a drink bottle. But what about those liquids again? Are you allowed to bring your bottle with you, or do you need to hand it over at security? Good news: you can take your empty bottle with you! So please make sure to empty it before going through the security check.
Empty it or drink up
It is a nice idea to bring your own drink bottle when travelling so that you have your own drinks with you. But make sure to either empty it or drink up before you go through security. Or simply come to the airport with an empty bottle. You just leave the bottle in your bag when you go through the security check It’s possible to fill your bottle again after security.
Rules for liquids
In addition to the empty drinking bottle, there are rules for taking liquids with you in your hand baggage. You may take liquids, gels, creams, ointments, pastes and aerosols with you in packaging of a maximum of 100 ml. Note that the container should really not exceed 100ml, even if it contains less liquid. From 1 September 2024, this will be mandatory.
Transfer or return flight
You do not need to take your liquids out of your bag at the security check at Schiphol. You can leave it all in your hand baggage. However, you may need to take your liquids out for the security check at other airports. And there could be additional rules, for example, at some airports it is mandatory to put your liquids in a transparent bag. Make sure to have everything neatly packed according to the rules of your departing airport – it may save you time later! If you’re not sure whether you can take a drink bottle in your hand baggage at a different airport, it’s best to empty it and put the bottle in your checked baggage. Or you can drink it of course. Cheers!
