Flying from Lanzarote? The verdict, the airport's own wording and its source link are below. Checked 15 October 2026 against the airport's own website. Same rules for hand luggage and carry-on.

What this means at Lanzarote Airport
- Aena publishes one network-wide hand-luggage rule for all its Spanish airports; the Lanzarote airport pages carry no separate liquids rule.
- Aena says containers must not exceed 100 ml and go in one transparent resealable plastic bag of no more than 1 litre per passenger, children included. The bag must be fully closed and placed in a separate tray.
- Staff may ask you to open containers, and liquids that fail inspection cannot go through.
- Laptops must be taken out of their cases or sleeves and put in separate trays.
- Liquid medicines and special-diet liquids needed during the trip are exempt (carry a prescription or proof where possible).
- Airport-shop and on-board purchases are allowed if kept in a sealed security bag with the receipt, unopened until your final destination.
- Aena's pages make no mention of scanners that would allow larger containers or leaving liquids and laptops in the bag. The 1-litre figure is the size of the bag, not a container allowance.
- Lanzarote's own departures-area page covers the screening process: a metal-detector arch, and fragile small items such as glasses are best kept in a checked bag or a pocket.
- Check-in is on floor 1 of both terminals: Terminal 1 for mainland Spain and international flights, Terminal 2 for inter-island flights.
