International Flight Carry-On Liquids: 100 ml Check

This is the Security & Baggage item that applies wherever you are going. The 3 checkpoints below can only be settled properly before you leave โ put them off and you queue at an airport desk or spend the first day on them instead. Work through them once and nothing has to be reopened.
Key checkpoints
- Check that liquid items such as shampoo, lotion, perfume, toothpaste, and lip gloss are in containers labelled 100 ml or less, then seal them to prevent leaks.
- Place all containers of 100 ml or less in one clear, resealable zip-top bag, and present it separately from your carry-on at security.
- Put cosmetics, drinks, and sprays over 100 ml in checked baggage, or buy them in the duty-free area after security; for connections, check the relevant airport's rules on its official website before departure.
What to do before departure, in order
Two rules decide the order. First, anything with a deadline โ pre-registration, bookings, documents to be issued: miss the cut-off and there is no substitute. Then whatever also works locally, which costs little to postpone.
Most of the items above can only be done before you leave. After arrival, patchy connectivity and opening hours make them harder, so finish what you can while you are still at home.

International Flight Carry-On Liquids: 100 ml Check โ the detail most people miss
The limit is based on the container's labelled capacity, not the amount remaining inside, even if only a small amount is left in a 100 ml container.
