Iberia medication liquid rules
Essential liquid medicines are exempt from the 100 ml rule on Iberia flights. You can carry more than 100 ml in hand luggage if you have supporting documentation — usually a prescription or a doctor's letter — and declare it at the security checkpoint.
Send these rules to whoever you're travelling with.
What to know before you pack
- Keep medicines in their original labelled packaging so the name matches your documentation.
- Insulin, inhalers, liquid painkillers, eye drops and gel cold packs used medically all count as essential medicines.
- Split your supply between hand luggage and hold luggage where possible in case of delays or lost bags.
- Baby food and prescription liquids are exempt.

Where should medication go on a Iberia flight?
In your cabin bag, within easy reach. Medicines you may need during the flight should never be checked into the hold.
