The carriage of liquids, aerosols and gels into the security restricted area of an airport and onboard aircraft is controlled in accordance with current EU Security Requirements.
Liquids in hand baggage
When passing through airport security screening:
These include gels, pastes, lotions, mixtures of liquids and solids and the contents of squeezable containers such as toothpaste, hair gels, beverages, soups, syrup, perfume, shaving foam, aerosols (sprays) and other similar materials. Some foods such as honey, jam and marmalade are also defined as liquids.
The bags are available in stores, for example as sealable freezer bags with a volume not exceeding 1 liter.
At the airport the bags are available for purchase at the cofee shop in the main concourse.
Products that do not meet the criteria cannot be taken on board.
Airports do not have any official storage facilities particularly for such items.
The airport or airline cannot assume any liability for articles left behind.
For items carried in check-in luggage, the usual liability terms apply.
You can carry fruit, vegetables and all solid foods in your hand baggage. However, foods in sauces or with a high liquid content (such as sauces, pastes, soups and stews, honey, jam and marmalade) cannot come through security. The size of container must not exceed 100ml, regardless of the amount contained inside.
Food must be wrapped or in a container. Unpeeled natural foods like fruit are okay, but half-eaten fruits must be wrapped.
You can bring your medication in pill or solid form in unlimited amounts as long as it is prescription free and presented for screening.
You’re allowed to carry essential medicines of more than 100ml in your hand luggage, but you need supporting documentation from a relevant medical professional. The medication should not exceed the reasonable quantities for the flight.
For prescription medication check the rules for the country you're going to, including countries that you're just passing through. Different countries have different rules and regulations about:
Always carry medicines and medical equipment (needles, syringes and so on) in their original, correctly labelled packages.
Please note that only one item of hand luggage per person can be taken on board, with measurements not exceeding 55x40x20 cm. The weight limit varies with different airlines.
For more detailed information, contact your airline.
Most airlines will carry your pushchair or buggy free of charge.
We highly recommend that you place your pushchair or buggy in a travel bag or case as these items are inherently unsuitable for carriage by air.
Children's pushchairs can be used up to the aircraft steps and after landing the pushchair will be available at the aircraft steps (provided local conditions permit this).
Avoid putting the following in checked baggage:
Many bags look alike; don’t claim your bag solely on appearance.
Insist that the airline create a report record and give you its number even if they say the bag will be in on the next flight. Get the agent's name and an appropriate telephone number for following up. This number is different from the reservations number.
