How much water or liquid can you bring through airport security before a flight to Hurghada?
Based on 1 discussion with 4 participants · Last activity: 26 days ago
TL;DR
The standard rule is containers up to 100ml, total no more than 1 liter in a clear bag — larger water bottles get confiscated at security, but you can buy water after the checkpoint or refill an empty bottle at a drinking fountain.
What the community said
At Sheremetyevo airport (Moscow departure), water within the standard limit usually isn't confiscated, and during heightened security alerts staff sometimes let even 1.5-liter bottles through.

Passengers traveling with children usually get more lenient treatment for liquids at security. The general rule for everyone: containers up to 100ml each, no more than 1 liter total per person.

A large water bottle won't pass security — it'll be confiscated at the checkpoint. Better to buy water in the duty-free zone after the checkpoint, or bring an empty bottle and refill it at a drinking fountain in the terminal.

Security staff often keep leftover confiscated water from other passengers — you can approach them and ask, they usually hand over a bottle.
