Directline Holidays FAQs

Q: How can I find out if I can take baby food or milk in the cabin of the aircraft?
A: The current rules allow you to take enough baby food or milk for the journey in your cabin baggage. In some cases this may be over 100ml. The adult carrying the baby food or milk may be asked by airport and or airline security to taste it. Further infomation can be found on the Direct Gov website.
