London Gatwick to Athens Eleftherios Venizelos liquid rules
LGW → ATH · United Kingdom → Greece
Pack to the stricter known rule. One airport is unconfirmed. Default to 100ml if any airport is unknown.
Rule basis: ATH is still pending review — pack to the 100ml fallback for that airport.
What to do: Conservative packing fallback: containers of 100ml or less, all in one clear resealable bag of up to 1 litre, ready to take out at security. Exceptions: LGW: Liquids in metal or double-walled containers must be emptied before security. LGW: Applies to departing Gatwick security only — transfer and return airports set their own liquid limits.

What to pack in cabin baggage
Conservative packing fallback: containers of 100ml or less, all in one clear resealable bag of up to 1 litre, ready to take out at security. This works at both LGW and ATH, including any exceptions listed above. Keep medications and contact lens solution accessible — they can usually go above the limit.
What to check in hold luggage
Full-size shampoo, perfume, sunscreen, olive oil, jam — anything over the limit. Wrap glass in clothes and seal liquids in plastic bags in case pressure changes pop the lids.
