Don't lose your £38 moisturiser at security.
Check airport liquid rules before you pack — including whether your return airport still uses the 100ml rule.
Some airports now allow larger liquids. Others still enforce 100ml. Liquid Limits tells you the strictest rule for your whole trip.

Why return flights can be different
The airport sets the rule
Your outbound airport may allow larger liquids, but your return airport may still enforce 100ml. Two flights, two rule sets.
Pack to the stricter rule
The safe move on a round trip is to pack to the stricter of the two airports. Otherwise the return is where things get confiscated.
Rules change without notice
Some airports rolled back 2L rules overnight. Always check both ends close to your travel date.

Trust and sources
How we source rules
LiquidLimits.com searches a global airport directory but only shows verified liquid-rule guidance where source data exists. Every rule page lists its source link and last-checked date.
- • Global airport directory coverage
- • Verified rule data with source links
- • Last-checked dates on every airport page
- • "Unknown" state when rules aren't confirmed
When in doubt, pack to 100ml
If we can't confirm a rule, we default to the stricter 100ml cabin-bag guidance. It's the side that doesn't end with your toiletries in a bin.
