Flagged for re-verification — check the airport before flying.

Partial 2 L: most Terminal 1 checkpoints and all Terminal 3 checkpoints accept containers up to 2 L thanks to new CT scanners, but some T1 gates, special checkpoints and transfer screening still enforce the 100 ml rule. Treat as 100 ml unless your specific lane signage says otherwise.

  • Essential medicines — declare at security.
