Can you bring formula on a plane with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines when traveling with a baby?

 

Bringing baby formula on KLM

 

Short answer: You can bring baby formula when flying with KLM.

  • Liquid items (breast milk, ready-made formula, sterilized water) are exempt from the 100 ml liquid rule. Bring what you need for the journey; security will screen these items separately and may carry out additional checks.
  • Powdered formula is treated as dry food and is allowed in both hand baggage and checked baggage.
  • Present feeds separately at security so staff can inspect and test them if required. Be prepared to open bottles or have samples tested.
  • Bring extras for delays and changing plans. Gel ice packs are usually allowed if frozen solid at screening; check if you need chilled storage on board.
  • Onboard and destination rules: Supplies or baby meals on board are not guaranteed—contact KLM before travel if you need special assistance or meals. Also check any customs or import rules at your destination for dairy products.
