Security

Will this pass the checkpoint?

▲Limited

Malta enforces the standard cabin liquids rule for containers in hand luggage.

Source: Malta International Airport
Airline

Can this travel in cabin or checked baggage?

○Airline-dependent

Your airline's cabin-bag size and weight limits still apply on top of security rules.

Border

Can you bring this into the destination country?

●Usually OK

Personal-use liquids are rarely a customs issue arriving into Malta.

Three separate rule systems · Any one can stop your item

Before you fly home: check what you're bringing back

Some liquids are fine through airport security but restricted by customs, biosecurity, alcohol duty, medicine rules or destination law.
