Can you bring pumped breast milk on a plane with Cathay Pacific when traveling with a baby?
Bringing pumped breast milk on Cathay Pacific
Yes — you can bring pumped breast milk on Cathay Pacific. It is treated as an essential baby item and is exempt from the usual 100 ml liquid limit when carried in the cabin. You should:
- Declare the milk at airport security so officers can screen it separately (X‑ray or alternative inspection may be used).
- Carry it in your hand luggage; keep bottles or sealed storage bags in a cooler or insulated bag with ice packs (frozen ice packs are usually allowed).
- Expect possible additional screening — staff may need to open containers or test a small sample for security purposes.
- Bring enough for the journey and feeding equipment (pump parts, bottles, cleaning wipes). Airplane refrigeration/storage is not guaranteed.
- Onboard assistance: cabin crew can help with hot water for warming bottles on request, but policies vary by flight — ask them politely.
If you have any doubts, check the specific airport security rules at your departure airport and mention you’re traveling with an infant when checking in.
