The containers (tubes, tins, bottles) must easily fit into a clear, sealable plastic bag (e.g. a freezer bag) of a maximum of 1 litre. The plastic bag must be shown at the security check in the airport. Only one plastic bag per person is permitted. The same applies to children and infants. The only exception to the regulation is liquid prescription medicine. However, you are only permitted to bring the amount of medicine required for the duration of the journey in your hand luggage. You must also bring a doctor’s note to this effect. Medicines available without prescription (nasal sprays, contact lens fluid) are also permitted in limited amounts (approximately as much as you need for the duration of the journey incl. connecting flights). You may also bring baby food on board, but also only as much as is required for the journey. You may still purchase duty-free items of more than 100 ml. The duty-free shop assistant will seal the items in a plastic bag. The receipt for the purchase (with date of travel) must be attached and clearly visible on the bag (not applicable to purchases from outside the EU, Norway, Iceland and Switzerland). Please only open the plastic bag after you have disembarked.
