The 100 ml rule still applies at gates C1, C2, C4 and C6, some special checkpoints in Terminal 1, and transfer checkpoints. At 2-litre checkpoints laptops and tablets stay in your bag. Check your departure gate first. No details for Terminal 2. In place since mid-September 2025.

Medicines, baby food and duty-free in sealed bags are exempt from the 100 ml limit. Rules vary by airport, so check your return and connecting airports too.
