Being from the United States, I had been under the impression that the "no liquids greater than a tiny amount" rule was fairly standard. Then I started flying in Asia and found that this was not the case. Flying both domestically and internationally in Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Malaysia, this restriction simply did not exist.

So, which countries or regions restrict a passenger from bringing liquids through security?

  • And yet I hauled a liter bottle of water through Indonesian security about two months ago, so I'm extremely skeptical of the accuracy of said list.

    What the UK does security wise deserves a separate entry.

  • @RoddyoftheFrozenPeas I also "smuggled" (by accident! I swear!) a water bottle on multiple flights within the European Union. Sometimes they simply don't check properly (which makes the whole thing rather pointless...)

    That list of countries doesn't look a whole lot different to the countries ANA flies to: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Nippon_Airways_destinations
