Baby food, medicines and duty-free purchases in the cabin

  Are you travelling with a baby? Don’t worry! You can take the food your child needs for the flight, even if it exceeds the 100 ml limit. However, please make sure to use containers that are securely sealed and easy to access to make security checks easier.

  If you need to take medication during the flight, please ensure you carry it in its original packaging, together with a prescription. This will make it easier to identify during security checks.

  Finally, when it comes to your duty-free purchases, please keep them in the sealed bag provided in the shop. This ensures that the products meet the required standards during security checks.
Please note: do not open it during the flight, as this may invalidate it if you are transiting to another destination!
