You can take multiple 100ml bottles on a plane, but they must all fit into a single, transparent, resealable bag. The main rule to remember is that you must not take any more than 100ml of a restricted liquid into the cabin of a plane, and those liquids should be placed into individual 100ml containers.
Understanding the Liquid Limit Rule
It's crucial to understand that the quantity limit refers to the size of the container and not necessarily the amount of liquid inside. For example:
- A partially filled 150ml bottle is not permitted, even if it contains less than 100ml.
- Multiple 100ml containers are allowed, but they must meet certain criteria.
The Resealable Bag Requirement
All your 100ml liquid containers must fit comfortably in a single, transparent, resealable bag, typically sized around 20cm x 20cm. The bag must be closed, and you must be able to see all containers within the bag clearly.
How Many 100ml Bottles?
The exact number of 100ml bottles you can take depends on the size of the bottles and your bag. You'll be able to take several, often between 5 and 10, provided that:
- Each container holds no more than 100ml.
- All containers fit into a single, transparent, resealable bag.
- The bag is able to fully close.
- All containers are visible within the bag.
Examples of Liquids that must follow the 100ml rule:
- Drinks
- Toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, creams, lotions)
- Aerosols
- Gels
- Pastes
What to Do if you Have more than 100ml of liquid?
Any liquid that you need more than 100ml of should be packed in your hold luggage.
