Many items fall into the category of ‘liquids’. When you prepare your hand baggage, please check what items are considered ‘liquids’ by cross-referencing the lists below. Doing so will allow you to clear security in a smooth fashion.
From 1 September 2024, liquids in your hand baggage may only be carried in containers holding max. 100ml.
You may take liquids in packaging of maximum 100ml in your hand baggage. We ask that you put all liquids, gels, creams, ointments, pastes and aerosols into a resealable, transparent 1-litre bag and that you do not bring more than one bag per person. If you want to be sure that you won’t have to hand something over, you should pack it in your hold baggage. Are you using refillable packaging? Make sure that the packaging clearly indicates the maximum number of millilitres it can contain. Always follow the instructions given by security staff. They can still refuse an item for safety reasons.
Liquid items may be water, soft drinks and fruit juice – but for liquids in your hand baggage, we also mean other liquids like gels, creams, ointments, pastes and aerosols. Here are some examples of items that fall under the liquid rules for hand baggage:

Many people travel with a drink bottle because it’s important to stay hydrated during your flight. Drink bottles can be taken in your hand baggage, but it must be empty when you go through security. After security and the passport control area, you will be able to refill it with water at one of the taps at the washroom facilities.
You are always allowed to bring medication, dietary supplements and baby food with you that you need on your trip.
