Objects and food transported by plane

Can I bring sandwiches, biscuits or chocolate with me in my hand luggage?

There are no restrictions on biscuits, sandwiches or chocolate. The only food items not permitted in your hand luggage are items that fall under the "liquids, pastes or gels" category. Pastes and gels refer to all soft, malleable items such as spreads, foie gras, soft cheese (such as Munster, Camembert, etc.), honey, pâté, and so on.

Can I bring medicines or medical equipment with me in my hand luggage?

Liquid or cream medication is permitted, irrespective of volume. Medication such as paracetamol is permitted in pill or powder form. You can also bring all the insulin and syringes you need on board, as well as inhalers and throat sprays. You will need to remove medication from your hand luggage at the security checks. If a security officers asks you to do so, you will need to show a medical prescription in your name, or a pharmacy certificate.

Can I carry liquids in my hand luggage? If so, how much?

Liquids, aerosols and gels must not exceed a maximum capacity of 100 ml to be allowed past security. They should fit comfortably inside a clear plastic bag with a maximum capacity of 1 L. Only one bag is permitted per person.

I bought food (cheese, pâté, cakes, etc.) during my trip. Am I allowed to take them on board with me?

All products containing 'malleable' substances are subject to the same restrictions as liquids. For example, soft nougat or cheese will be permitted as long as they do not exceed 100 ml or 100 g. There are no restrictions on solid food products with the exception of meat and meat-based products (for sanitary reasons). We nevertheless strongly recommend that you put these products in your hold luggage. The quantity of products you take with you must not exceed reasonable amounts for personal consumption.

Can I take meals for babies or young children with me on board?

You can take small jars and meals for children in your hand luggage, as well as pre-prepared bottles (glass or plastic), or powdered milk and then ask the cabin crew to provide you with water. Please remove these items from your hand luggage to be inspected prior to boarding.

Can I bring bottles of water with me in my hand luggage?

Only drinks purchased after security checks are permitted, as they undergo special security checks to ensure they are safe.
