Partial 2 L: only the CT-scanner lanes accept containers up to 2 L; conventional checkpoints still enforce the 100 ml / 1 L bag rule. Assume 100 ml unless directed to a CT lane.

Munich has terminal-specific rules

Some terminals at Munich use 100 ml, others allow more. Pack to 100 ml unless your terminal is signed otherwise.

Safest packing recommendation
Pack to 100 ml for the round trip

One airport allows larger containers and the other doesn't. If you need the liquid for return or onward travel, use 100 ml containers.

Exemptions worth knowing
  • Duty-free liquids in sealed STEB bags with the receipt.
  • Essential medicines — declare at security.
  • Baby food and baby milk for travelling infants.
