What this means at Düsseldorf Airport
- Airport states: "max. 100 ml per container, in a transparent, resealable 1-liter bag".
- At the usual checkpoints: "Liquids and larger electronic devices are checked separately", so keep them to hand and put them in the baggage box.
- Exception: "At checkpoints with CT technology, electronic devices and liquids can remain in your hand baggage."
- "You will see whether you are at a checkpoint with CT technology from the signs on site."
- The page does not give a larger container size for the CT checkpoints, so we do not claim one.
