THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND BEFORE STARTING YOUR JOURNEY

Before travelling

  • Check that you have the necessary documents to reach your destination. Consult the traveller's customs charter which regulates both travel to and from non-EU countries and those within the European Union, or visit the customs website for more information
  • Report any passengers with special needs: children under the age of two, unaccompanied minors, people with mobility problems
  • Make sure you comply with your airline's baggage regulations

At the airport

  • Arrives on schedule from the airline
  • Prepare the boarding pass and the necessary documents to show at the controls
  • Put bags, jackets, belts, wallets and metal objects in the tray. You may be asked to remove your shoes or repeat X-ray checks several times or to open your hand luggage for a possible search

CHECKING LIQUIDS AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES

The European Commission is temporarily reimplementing restrictions on liquids, aerosols and gels carried by passengers in their cabin baggage.

Starting from 1st September 2024, the maximum allowed size of individual liquid containers is set to 100 ml.

You can leave liquids in containers of under 100ml and electronic devices in your luggage.

OTHER PRECAUTIONS ON LIQUIDS

Liquids and beverages purchased in the duty-free shop and beyond the security controls

Liquids can be bought, such as beverages and perfumes in the airport retail outlets, the Duty-Free shops beyond security controls, on the aircraft and in other Community airports. Products purchased at the Duty-Free shops and on-board aircraft will be handed over by the retailer in special sealed bags and can be transported onboard the aircraft. Keep the products together with the receipt in the sealed bag at the time of purchase: these will be subject to controls at security stations. 
We advise that you do not open the bags before arriving at the final destination: in some cases, Security Agents will have to open the bags and occasionally also the liquid containers. If you do not do this, if there are intermediate stopovers the liquids purchased might be confiscated at security control.
Additionally, at Linate Airport, you have access to potable water dispensers, located in the boarding area, where you can conveniently refill your water bottle.

Liquid transport during an intermediate landing

Inform the security agent: the agent will newly insert the liquid products in a sealed bag with the proof of purchase and a certificate attesting to the control carried out. 
The regulations are applied even if you exit the customs arrivals area and then return into it during the three following hours.

Transport of medicines and dietary products for children

You can take medicines, dietary products and foodstuffs for children out of the reclosable bag and in your hand luggage.
It might be necessary to demonstrate the effective need for these articles.

Objects prohibited from hand luggage​

If you are carrying items in your baggage that do not pass the security controls, you can leave them in custody at the left luggage in the airport and collect them at your convenience when you return.
