Liquids carried in hand luggage
Due to a new European Commission regulation, as of September 1, 2024, liquids carried in hand luggage must be in containers with a capacity of up to 100 ml.
Containers of liquids with a capacity exceeding 100 ml may only be carried in hand luggage if they are empty, otherwise they must be checked in as check-in luggage. The new-generation EDS C3 scanners at security in Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 at Fiumicino Airport allow passengers to leave liquids in containers up to 100 ml and electrical and electronic devices in their hand luggage, instead of having to remove them before passing through security.
With regards to flights to the USA or Israel, security check methods with the traditional X-ray machines used at Fiumicino airport remain unchanged, requiring the separation of liquids (max 100 ml in a plastic bag of max 1000 ml) and electrical and electronic devices from hand luggage.
Exceptions to the restrictions are LAGs (Liquids, Aerosols and Gases) to be used during the trip for medical purposes or for a special dietary regime, including baby food, which may also be allowed in hand luggage in quantities exceeding 100 ml, after separation from hand luggage and dedicated security screening.
