Can you bring pumped breast milk on a plane with Japan Airlines when traveling with a baby?

 

Bringing pumped breast milk on Japan Airlines

 

Yes — Japan Airlines allows you to carry pumped breast milk when traveling with a baby. Breast milk and baby food are treated as exemptions to carry-on liquid limits but must be screened at security.

  • Declare at security so staff can carry out additional screening (X‑ray or inspection).
  • Bring a reasonable amount needed for the trip; there’s no strict volume limit but carry what you require for travel.
  • Ice packs or frozen packs are allowed to keep milk cool; they may be inspected and can be partially melted.
  • Carry breast pumps and spare lithium batteries in carry‑on (spare batteries should not be in checked baggage).
  • Store carefully on board — request assistance from cabin crew if you need a cool place or warming.
  • Check customs rules at your destination if you plan to transport larger amounts internationally.
