Travel bottles for hand luggage: what are you allowed to take with you?

Taking shampoo, sunscreen, shower gel, or face cream on the plane? With travel bottles, you only take what you need and prevent large packaging from taking up unnecessary space in your carry-on.

At Schiphol, liquids in carry-on luggage may currently be carried in containers of up to 100 ml each. All liquids, gels, creams, pastes, and aerosols must fit together in one transparent, resealable bag with a maximum capacity of 1 liter.

At Travelhawk, you will find various travel bottles designed specifically for when you are on the go.

How many ml can travel bottles in carry-on luggage be?

An individual travel bottle must have a maximum capacity of 100 ml. This refers to the capacity of the container itself. A 150 ml bottle that is only half-full does not comply with the 100 ml rule.

Therefore, when using refillable travel bottles, always pay attention to the maximum capacity indicated on the bottle. For refillable containers, Schiphol advises ensuring that the capacity in milliliters is clearly visible.

Which travel bottles are convenient for on the plane?

Reusable travel bottles are particularly practical for personal care products. Before departure, you fill them with exactly the amount of shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, or sunscreen you expect to need.

The Travelhawk 60 to 90 ml travel bottles fall within the permitted capacity for carry-on luggage. The set consists of refillable bottles made of BPA-free silicone and comes with a storage pouch. The wide opening makes filling and cleaning easier.

Do you want to bring various personal care products? Then the 16-piece travel bottle set is a more comprehensive option. It contains various bottles, jars, and spray bottles ranging from 30 to 100 ml, supplemented with items such as labels and a transparent pouch.

What can you take in travel bottles?

Travel bottles are suitable for items including:

• shampoo and conditioner;
• shower gel;
• body lotion;
• sunscreen;
• facial care;
• disinfectant gel.

Always check that each bottle is securely closed before departure. Then, keep the bottles together in the transparent pouch or the required liquids bag.

Compact and practical for travel
