Italy airport liquid rules
13 airports · 3 with verified rules · 10 unknown
Pack liquids in containers of 100ml or less, in a single clear 1-litre resealable bag. This is the safest current guidance for Rome, Milan, Venice, Naples and other Italian airports.
Rule basis: ENAC applies the EU 100ml hand luggage liquid rule at Italian airports. No Italian airport is separately verified as allowing above-100ml cabin liquids.
What to do: Pack to the stricter rule on a return trip — the airport you fly home from sets the limit, not the airline.
Liquid Limits is a travel planning tool, not an official aviation source. Always confirm with the airport before you travel.
Traveller warning: the airport you depart from sets the rule, not the airline. On a return flight you'll face the rule at the airport you fly home from — which may be stricter than your outbound airport.
