You can bring an unlimited quantity of liquids in your checked baggage, including containers larger than 100 ml, as long as they are not flammable or hazardous
. Unlike hand luggage, which restricts liquids to containers of 100 ml or less and requires them to fit in a 1-liter transparent bag, checked baggage has much more flexibility for liquids such as shampoo, lotions, and alcoholic beverages with less than 70% alcohol content
. However, there are some important restrictions for liquids in checked baggage:
- Liquids must be packed in sealed, leak-proof containers to prevent spills due to changes in cabin pressure during the flight
- Alcoholic beverages are limited to up to 5 liters per person if the alcohol content is below 70%, and high-proof spirits (above 70%) are generally prohibited
- Hazardous or flammable liquids, such as gasoline, solvents, or certain aerosols, are not allowed in checked baggage
- Some airlines or countries may have additional restrictions, so it is advisable to check with your airline before traveling
In summary, there is no strict volume limit on liquids in checked baggage, but safety and legal restrictions apply, especially for flammable or alcoholic liquids. Proper packing to avoid leaks is recommended for all liquids in checked luggage.
