Catania Fontanarossa Airport liquid rules for hand luggage
Catania still has the 100 ml rule: containers of 100 ml or less in one clear 1-litre bag that you show separately from the rest of your hand luggage.
- Largest container
- 100 ml per item
- Clear bag needed
- clear resealable bag max 1 litre
- Liquids stay in bag
- No, take them out
- Laptops stay in bag
- Not stated
- Every lane
- Yes, all lanes
SAC's current guide gives the 100 ml limit and says the bag must be presented separately. It lists notebooks and tablets among items checked at security but does not clearly say to take them out. Local news reports mention new 3D scanners, but SAC's page mentions no scanners and no change to the liquids rule; the page is undated.
Medicines, baby food and duty-free in sealed bags are exempt from the 100 ml limit. Rules vary by airport, so check your return and connecting airports too.
