What this means for packing

·Liquid containers up to 2 L each are allowed in your carry-on.
·The airport does not clearly state its bag handling — check the official source before you fly.
·Whether liquids need to come out at screening is not confirmed here.
·Your return or connecting airport may still enforce 100 ml. Pack for the strictest checkpoint on your route.

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.
