MXP Milan Airports

Hand luggage and liquids

Most airlines only let you bring a free bag that fits under the seat; a cabin trolley often costs extra. Enter your bag's size to see where it fits. At Linate and Malpensa Terminal 1 new scanners allow liquids up to 2 litres. At Malpensa Terminal 2 the 100 ml rule is still the safe choice.

Liquids at Milano security

  • Each container 100 ml or less, even if half empty: the size printed on the label counts.
  • All containers in one transparent resealable plastic bag of up to 1 litre (about 20×20 cm).
  • One bag per passenger, taken out and placed in the tray at security.

Liquids include drinks, creams, gels, toothpaste, mascara, sprays, perfume, sauces, spreads, honey and food in oil. Solid lipstick, stick deodorant and bar soap do not count.

Exceptions: medicines needed during the trip, baby milk and food, and special dietary food, even over 100 ml. Show them separately at security.

On your way back, the rules of your departure airport apply. Some airports with new scanners accept larger containers; many do not.

Frequently asked questions

Can I bring liquids over 100 ml at Milano Airport?

Yes, at Linate and Malpensa Terminal 1. ENAC has cleared both to accept containers up to 2 litres at lanes with new scanners; at Malpensa Terminal 2 follow the 100 ml rule.

Can I take food from Milan home in my hand luggage?

Panettone, aged cheese, vacuum-packed cured meats and chocolate are fine. Wine, olive oil and liqueurs count as liquids: over 100 ml they must go in checked luggage, unless you buy them after security.
