Baby bottles w/water on plane okay?

Since we're moving to qatar soon with my 11 month old son, I would like to know is it ok to bring baby bottles filled w/ water? are there restrictions on International flights? Of course baby has to be feed so I'm thinking Mommies who travelled international with baby please advise.

If you are travelling through a UK airport, you cannot take water through security but you can buy it afterwards.....thats my experience anyway!

They never let us take it through London Airport - they wont allow the testing that some other airports allow. You can buy ready mixed formula in small cartons once inside the departure lounge, and water bottles 9 of course not sterilized so not much help!)

Anyway best check with your airport or carrier before leaving your country.

Tallg is 100% right and it totally depends on the airport of origin. In Johannesburg, they are very strict and will confiscate anything over 100 ml. But in Doha they'll allow a 500 ml bottle of water.

Technically you're only allowed to bring liquid through in 100ml bottles, in a clear plastic bag. Medicines and baby supplies can be brought though but are supposed to be tested.

But in reality, you can often get away with carrying full bottles of water. Just last week I passed through Dubai airport security with a full bottle, which they should have confiscated.

I never had a problem with bringing water through security in a baby bottle. Also dont count on getting water from the flight attendants, especially if you need sterilised cooled water, as they take ages to respond.

Mrs flores, your best bet wolud be to ring the airport your travelling from and ask what their guidelines...

You cannot bring water through security. You can buy bottled water after security however. Once you get onto the plane, the flight attendants can supply you with water, juice, milk etc.

Mothers are exempt from the liquid ban, you are allowed to bring water or milk in bottles. Ive never experienced them tasting it. When ever i travel i always bring UHT milk cartons and they never confiscated them as they are allowed for mothers.
