(7) Taking liquids on board (Regulation (EC) No. 1546/2006)

For the safety of civil aviation, the European Union has limited the amount of liquids that passengers are allowed to take on board in hand luggage. It should be noted that the liquids are in individual containers with a capacity of no more than 100ml or a comparable unit of measurement. The decisive factor is the printed filling quantity. All individual containers must fit in a transparent, resealable plastic bag with a maximum capacity of one litre. The plastic bag must be comfortable and fully sealable. Closing simple plastic bags with aids is not permitted. One bag is permitted per passenger.

Liquids include: gels, pastes, lotions, mixtures of liquids and solids such as toothpaste, hair gels, drinks, soups, syrups, perfumes and other items of similar consistency, as well as the contents of pressurized containers such as shaving cream and hairspray.

Exceptions may be granted if the liquid is used during travel and is needed for either medical or special dietary purposes, including baby food. If necessary, the passenger must be able to prove the authenticity of the liquid for which an exemption has been granted.

Since January 31, 2014, liquids from duty-free purchases have generally been permitted to be taken in hand luggage at every airport and aircraft. The prerequisite is that the liquid, together with the proof of purchase, is in an undamaged,  sealed security bag that can be checked using a special control technology. This control technology is also used to examine liquid medications and liquid special foods. The security bag must not be opened until the final  destination airport has been reached. All liquids must be removed from your baggage and presented separately for aviation security checks. If the harmlessness of the liquid cannot be determined beyond doubt, the liquid may not be  taken in hand luggage.

If you have any questions, you can also contact your airport or the federal police.
