Until further notice, a passenger can carry one bottle of liquid sanitizer containing up to 355 ml in carry-on luggage. The bottle does not need to be included in the 1 L resealable bag with other liquids, aerosols and gels. These items are also subject to limits in checked baggage. Each passenger can bring a maximum of 500 ml or 500 g per container, with a total net quantity not to exceed 2 L or 2 kg per person.
