Are you able to take cows milk through either airports? I'm guessing the answer is no so how do you get around it? Can you buy it at the airport or will they fill a bottle on the plane? This is the 1st time we will be flying with my daughter not on formula and I know a bottle will settle her during take off, especially in the UK as the flight is due to leave around her bedtime.
Thank you

Are you not allowed a certain amount of liquid at the airport 50ml or 100ml? If we can take makeup/perfume etc in the above quantities can you not take milk? Perhaps if not you can buy it once through immigration etc

Hi, I have managed to buy cartons of milk from cafes in departure lounge at Dubai airport, but if they didn't have any have gone to McDonalds and bought a happy meal and got the plain milk that goes with it . Don't rely on stewards to have some on the plane sometimes they do sometimes they don't . Hope that helps , always a worry if little ones don't settle on a long journey.

Have never tried but at a guess it won't be a problem in dubai, in the UK easiest would prob be if you just put it in a baby bottle and say its formula? (and probably taste some). You could take some milk powder as a back up I guess. I have been given cows milk for my baby on the plane before (they filled his sippy cup) but I wouldn't 100% rely on that if you def need it.
