Frankfurt am Main Terminal 1 — liquid rules
Airlines: Lufthansa, Star Alliance carriers
Frankfurt's official guidance says most Terminal 1 checkpoints use CT scanners and allow liquids in containers of up to 2 litres, with no clear bag required. Gates C1, C2, C4 and C6, special security checkpoints in Terminal 1 and transfer checkpoints keep the 100ml container limit and one transparent resealable bag of up to 1 litre. Check your checkpoint's current guidance; pack containers of 100ml or less in that bag if your checkpoint is unknown.
Rule basis: Terminal 1 is Lufthansa's home base — concourses A, B and Z handle Schengen, non-Schengen and US-preclearance flights respectively.
