Verified list
Do not oversimplify the 2-litre rule
Important: “2 litres” does not always mean the same rule across an entire airport. Frankfurt, Munich, Prague, Milan Malpensa, Rome Fiumicino and Zurich have conditions depending on checkpoint, terminal, destination or transfer. Use the airport-specific page instead of relying on a single simplified list.
How to avoid a liquids problem
A common mistake is assuming the departure-airport liquid rule will also apply during a connection.
- Check the single-container limit at the exact airport.
- Creams, gels, pastes, aerosols and contact-lens solution count as liquids.
- If you clear security again in transit, check the transfer airport too.
Who prepares the answers
Content is prepared by the PreflightMate Research Desk from structured data and official sources. We do not present ourselves as an aviation authority or airline.
Automation helps format, compare and translate data. A rule marked verified must be linked to an official source; conflicts and exceptions remain visible.
A specific airport, airline, route, destination-country rule or a security officer may apply a more restrictive requirement.
