Christchurch Airport liquid rules: 100 ml limit

What this means at Christchurch Airport

• Airport's own wording: "If you're travelling on an international flight you can only carry a restricted amount of liquids, aerosols and gel like substances."
• The airport's FAQ sends passengers to the Aviation Security Service website for the details and does not state container sizes on that page.
• The New Zealand rule, as stated by Auckland Airport: each container must be no more than 100 ml and must fit comfortably into one resealable 20 cm x 20 cm (or smaller) transparent plastic bag; inorganic powders are limited to 350 ml in carry-on.
• Auckland Airport also states that since 1 May 2024, on international flights only, passengers no longer have to remove liquids, aerosols or gels, or laptops, at screening. Christchurch does not say this on the page we read, so check before you fly.
• Exceptions apply for prescription medicines (with documentation), baby milk, sterilised water and baby food needed during the flight, according to Auckland Airport.
• Check the rules at your destination and connecting airports too.
