You can bring liquids in containers of up to 100 ml each in your carry-on luggage, and all these containers must fit into a single clear, resealable plastic bag with a maximum capacity of 1 litre. This means the total volume of liquids you carry cannot exceed 1 litre, regardless of how many individual containers you have, as long as each container is 100 ml or less

. Key points:

  • Each liquid container must be 100 ml or smaller.
  • All containers must fit comfortably inside one transparent, resealable 1-litre plastic bag.
  • You are allowed only one such plastic bag per passenger.
  • Liquids include drinks, gels, creams, pastes, sprays, and similar substances.
  • Exceptions exist for essential medicines, baby food, and duty-free liquids purchased after security, which can exceed 100 ml but must be declared and screened separately

So effectively, the number of liquid containers you can bring depends on how many 100 ml (or smaller) containers you can fit into that single 1-litre bag. There is no fixed number, but the total volume must not exceed 1 litre.
