The European Union has adopted new security measures that extend the amount of liquids, gels, creams, or substances of similar consistency, which passengers can carry with them in their carry-on baggage and when they pass security checks at Community airports
These measures apply to all passengers departing from airports in the European Union, Norway, Iceland and Switzerland, regardless of their destination.
It is mandatory to present liquids separated from the rest of the carry-on baggage to pass security checks, as security personnel may require the liquids to be opened for inspection and exceptionally, and only for security reasons, can they be rejected.
Liquids carried in carry-on baggage must be presented at security checks as follows:
However, the new measures do not limit the purchase of these liquids or substances in stores located beyond the checkpoint where you show your boarding pass or on board aircraft operated by a European Union airline.
If these products are sold in sealed bags, do not open them until your trip is finished. If you are going to continue your journey at another airport in the European Union, do not open this sealed bag until you have left the last EU airport.
