Can I bring my own water bottle?

Yes, but it must be empty when you pass through security. You can fill it up at a water fountain once you are inside the terminal.

Are duty-free liquids allowed?

Yes, if purchased after security and sealed in a STEB (Security Tamper-Evident Bag) by the shop. Keep your receipt attached to the bag.

Internationale Flugreisen: Handgepäck-Regeln meistern

Most international airlines allow one carry-on bag (up to 7-10kg) and one personal item. Liquids must be in containers of 100ml or less, all fitting into a single, transparent, resealable 1-liter plastic bag.

Check specific airline weight limits. Don't assume 10kg is the standard. Budget carriers like Ryanair or EasyJet often have stricter limits (sometimes 7kg). Check your booking confirmation email to find your specific weight allowance.
Standardize your liquid containers. Purchase TSA-approved clear 100ml silicone bottles. Anything larger will be confiscated at security. Place all these bottles inside one transparent quart-sized or 1-liter zip-top bag.
Separate electronics for scanning. Pack your laptop, tablet, and power banks in an easily accessible front pocket. Security agents require these to be removed from the bag and placed in a separate bin during X-ray screening.
Measure your bag dimensions. Most international carriers require carry-ons to be no larger than 55cm x 40cm x 20cm, including wheels and handles. If it doesn't fit the 'sizer' at the gate, you will be forced to check it for a fee.
