In hand luggage, apart from liquids, passengers may carry medicines and dietary products, such as baby food, if necessary for the journey. Proof of the actual need for these items may be required.

Liquids such as beverages and perfumes can also be purchased at airport stores, Duty Free shops beyond security checks, on board aircraft, and at other EU airports. Products purchased at Duty Free shops and on board will be provided in sealed bags by the seller, which should not be opened until reaching the final destination.

If connecting through other airports, liquids purchased may be confiscated at security checks.

For further information, passengers are advised to contact the airline with which they booked their flight.

TRANSPORTING LIQUIDS: REGULATIONS FOR TRANSIT PASSENGERS
According to new European regulations, as of 31 January 2014, liquids purchased at airport Duty Free stores or onboard aircraft may be carried in hand luggage. These liquids must be kept, together with the receipt, inside the sealed bag provided at the time of purchase, and will be screened at security checkpoints. Security staff may need to open these bags, and in some cases, the liquid containers as well.

If you are not at your final destination but in transit to another stop, inform the security staff, who will reseal your liquids in a new security bag, including proof of purchase and documentation confirming the security check.
This regulation also applies to transit passengers who leave the customs arrivals area and re-enter the departure area within 3 hours.
