What this means at Munich Airport
- Airport's own wording: "Liquids (up to two liters per container) and electronic devices may remain in carry-on luggage."
- "You may carry several containers totaling less than two liters. Containers larger than two liters must be checked as baggage."
- The page notes that airports without CT technology still apply the "100-ml rule for liquids", so check your return airport.
- The page has an FAQ entry on medication and special foods in hand luggage but the detail was not readable on the page fetched.
