💧 Liquids in carry-on luggage in 2025: what's the situation now?

What is allowed?
- Max. 1 liter of liquids in total
- Only in containers of max 100 ml each
- Everything must fit in one transparent, resealable plastic bag
- Think of: toothpaste, perfume, gel, creams, makeup, cleanser, and sprays
✈️ Extra tip: place the bag at the top of your bag for quick security checks.
💼 Pack smart = travel stress-free
Well-packed carry-on luggage means less delay at security, no unexpected costs, and more peace of mind. Make sure you:
✔️ Pack liquids properly
✔️ Measure and weigh your bag before departure
✔️ Pack your carry-on logically (think: quick access to passport & liquids)
✔️ Have essentials at hand for the journey
