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.
Some terminals at Frankfurt use 100 ml, others allow more. Pack to 100 ml unless your terminal is signed otherwise.
One airport allows larger containers and the other doesn't. If you need the liquid for return or onward travel, use 100 ml containers.
