2L containers allowed in carry-on only for passengers whose journey originates at this airport — not transit/transfer passengers.

What this means for packing
- ·Some lanes or terminals clear containers up to 2 L — but you can't choose where you're screened.
- ·The only safe plan is still 100 ml containers in a clear resealable bag (about 1 L total).
- ·Larger liquids belong in checked baggage, or buy them after security.
Carry a water bottle through security
Bring it empty and refill after security — a clear, single-wall plastic bottle empties fast and clears the checkpoint without the extra screening insulated metal bottles often get.
