    No liquids at all over 100ml through security. You can buy water after security though or if you take an empty bottle, fill it after security which you can take on board.

    And after 18 years of not flying, I hope you have a great time. :-)

    I don't know if it will matter to the OP but it might help others.
    You can take prescribed medication, baby food, milk for babies and sterilised water for mixing baby food (providing you are travelling with a baby) in quantities over 100ml through security

    Thanks but its not me flying its my youngest son , him and his brother was the reason i would never fly again :)
  • Where are you flying ?? Prague (there maybe others) has an odd situation in that security at the gate so you need buy water from duty free and get it put in a DF bag. Sometimes there are vending machines past security
