Can you bring breast milk on a plane with Cathay Pacific when traveling with a baby?

 

Bringing breast milk on a Cathay Pacific flight

 

Yes — you can bring breast milk on board when traveling with a baby. Cathay Pacific (like most carriers) permits breast milk and baby food in carry‑on even if quantities exceed the usual 100 ml liquid limit. Security screening rules still apply.

  • Declare the breast milk at security screening so officers can process it separately.
  • Pack bottles or storage bags securely and keep them accessible for inspection.
  • Ice packs or frozen gel packs are allowed to keep milk cold; they may be screened and should be frozen solid if possible.
  • Expect possible additional screening (visual inspection, swab or X‑ray). If asked to open containers, follow instructions.
  • On board, cabin crew can assist with hot water for warming but may not reheat or microwave items.

If you want certainty for a specific route or country rules, check with Cathay Pacific or the departure airport security before travel.
