Can you take baby food and medicine over 100 ml through security in Copenhagen?

The exceptions to the 100 ml rule.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

Yes, baby food and liquid medicine are exceptions to the 100 ml limit at Copenhagen Airport. The exception covers baby food, squeeze pouches with puree or smoothie, breast milk, water and boiled water for the baby, in the amounts you need during the trip. Liquid medicine over 100 ml is allowed in the amount you need for the flight, and you should carry written documentation from a doctor or pharmacy. Place these items visibly in a tray at security, because they may be selected for an extra check.

Why

  1. Baby food and breast milk may exceed 100 ml.
  2. Liquid medicine is allowed in the amount needed on the flight.
  3. These items do not have to go in the 1 litre bag.

Details

The airport has a separate baby guide with more advice for travelling with small children.

Tip

At the packing tables before security, take the baby food out of the bag so it is ready for the tray.

What may differ

The liquids rules may be relaxed when the new CT scanners get EU approval.

Common misconception

Medicine must always fit in the 1 litre bag like other liquids.

What actually happens

Liquid medicine needed on the flight may exceed 100 ml, but bring a note from your doctor or pharmacy.
