South Africa airport liquid rules
3 airports · 2 with verified rules · 1 unknown
Verified airports in South Africa enforce the standard 100ml per-container rule in cabin baggage, all in a single 1-litre clear bag.
Rule basis: 2 of 3 airports in South Africa have verified or inherited rule data. The rest default to the global 100ml baseline.
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.
