Airport Liquid Rules
Liquid rules at Warsaw Chopin
Warsaw, Poland · IATA WAW · ICAO EPWA
Depends on the lane
Larger containers only at some lanes — pack ≤ 100 ml to be safe
Ongoing C3 scanner rollout (started July 2026): 2L containers allowed only at Fast Track lane checkpoints fitted with the new C3 scanners, which also mean laptops/tablets stay in your bag. Standard lanes still enforce 100ml containers in a transparent, resealable 1L bag. Coverage is expanding gradually and the airport's own page hasn't been updated to reflect it yet — confirmed via a July 2026 news report and a traveler's firsthand account of clearing Fast Track with 2L containers.

- ·The only safe container-size plan is still 100 ml unless the airport confirms your lane.

Pack for the 100 ml limit
Refill bottles only if your usual products need smaller containers. Reuse a suitable clear resealable bag before buying a new one, and check the bag rules at every checkpoint.

Reuse one you own first. Check the bag capacity and closure required by each airport; a toiletry pouch is not automatically accepted.
Product listings do not determine airport policy. Check the exact size and variant before buying; a ‘TSA-approved’ label is not a guarantee of acceptance on your route.

Frequently asked questions
Can I take liquids over 100 ml through Warsaw Chopin?
Only at some lanes or terminals. Ongoing C3 scanner rollout (started July 2026): 2L containers allowed only at Fast Track lane checkpoints fitted with the new C3 scanners, which also mean laptops/tablets stay in your bag. Standard lanes still enforce 100ml containers in a transparent, resealable 1L bag. Coverage is expanding gradually and the airport's own page hasn't been updated to reflect it yet — confirmed via a July 2026 news report and a traveler's firsthand account of clearing Fast Track with 2L containers. Since you can't choose your screening lane, pack 100 ml containers to be safe.
Does this apply to my return flight?
Only if your return flight also departs from Warsaw Chopin. Liquid rules apply wherever you pass security — check every airport on your route, including connections where you're re-screened.
What about duty-free liquids bought at Warsaw Chopin?
Liquids bought after security, sealed in a tamper-evident bag with the receipt inside, are handled under separate rules and don't count against the limit. Keep the bag sealed if you have a connecting flight.
