Drinking Bottles and Travel Containers for Carry-on Luggage
Especially when travelling, a well-designed carry-on bottle is worth it. Empty models pass through security checks without any problems and can be refilled free of charge at drinking fountains or in cafés after check-in. This saves you single-use plastic and ensures you always have a cool or warm drink within reach. For care products, refillable 100 ml bottles are the clever alternative to overpriced travel sizes – they save your budget and reduce packaging waste.
Materials and Safety
Carry-on bottles are available in various materials, each with its own advantages. Stainless steel impresses with excellent insulation and extreme robustness – ideal for hot and cold drinks over many hours. Tritan plastic is feather-light, shatterproof and taste-neutral, perfect for those who watch every gram. Silicone bottles can be folded up and disappear space-savingly into luggage once empty. All models presented here comply with current EU regulations for liquids on board and are of course BPA-free and leak-proof.
Which drinking bottles can I take in my carry-on luggage?▾
Empty drinking bottles – whether made of stainless steel, plastic or silicone – are generally permitted in carry-on luggage. Filled bottles may only be carried if the liquid volume does not exceed 100 ml. After the security check, empty bottles can be refilled with tap water in the departure area.
Which material is best suited for carry-on bottles?▾
It depends on the intended use: Stainless steel is robust, taste-neutral and keeps drinks hot or cold for a long time. Tritan plastic is lightweight, shatterproof and BPA-free. Collapsible silicone bottles save space when not needed. All three variants are well suited for carry-on luggage.
Are collapsible travel bottles leak-proof?▾
Yes, high-quality models from brands like CamelBak or Nalgene feature double seals and sturdy closures that reliably prevent leakage in luggage. When purchasing, pay attention to the manufacturer's specifications and customer reviews.
Can I take a filled stainless steel bottle on the plane?▾
Only if the bottle holds a maximum of 100 ml and fits into the transparent liquids bag. Larger stainless steel bottles must be completely emptied before the security check. After the check, you can refill them at drinking fountains or in catering establishments.
Which size is ideal for carry-on bottles?▾
For drinking bottles, volumes between 350 and 750 ml have proven ideal – they are compact, fit into side pockets of backpacks and provide enough liquid for the flight. For cosmetic and care products in carry-on luggage, refillable 100 ml silicone bottles are the best choice.
Are BPA-free plastic bottles recommended for travel?▾
Absolutely. BPA-free bottles made of Tritan or polypropylene are lightweight, break-resistant and taste-neutral. They do not release harmful substances into the drink and are a good choice if you value low weight in your carry-on luggage.
How do I properly clean travel bottles and drinking bottles?▾
Most carry-on bottles can be easily cleaned by hand with warm water and mild detergent. Many models are dishwasher-safe (upper rack). Special bottle brushes are recommended for hard-to-reach lids and seals. Regular cleaning prevents odours and deposits.
Are there special carry-on bottles for shampoo and lotion?▾
Yes, so-called travel sets with silicone bottles (usually 100 ml) are specially designed for cosmetic products in carry-on luggage. They are leak-proof, easy to fill and comply with EU regulations for liquids on board. Brands like Mepal and Nalgene offer well-designed sets for travellers.
