Hand Luggage & Security Rules

Essential knowledge for flying in and out of Turkish airports.

The Golden Rule: Liquids up to 100 ml

Important for Turkey: Two Security Checks

When flying back from Turkey, you will undergo two full security checks: one at the airport entrance and another right before the boarding gate.

THE TRAP: Drinks bought at the airport AFTER the first check but BEFORE the gate will be confiscated at the second check if they are over 100ml. Only buy drinks once you have passed the final security check at the gate area.
