    What are the liquid rules at Helsinki Airport?

    How much liquid you can take in hand luggage from Helsinki.

    Short answer

    At the departure security checks of Helsinki Airport, each liquid container in hand luggage may hold up to 100 ml, and the total may be up to 2 litres. Thanks to the scanners, liquids can stay in your bag and you do not need a plastic bag. The 100 ml limit returned on 1 September 2024 under an EU decision.
