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

 

Bringing pumped breast milk on Turkish Airlines

 

Yes — you can bring pumped breast milk on board. Turkish Airlines allows passengers travelling with infants to carry breast milk and baby food in amounts greater than standard liquid limits. At security you should declare these items and present them separately for screening; they may be X-rayed or inspected by hand. Ice packs and coolers to keep milk cold are also permitted but may be screened.

• Carry it in your hand baggage — safer than checked baggage and easier to access during the flight.
• Declare at security — tell security staff you have expressed milk and follow their instructions for screening.
• Use sealed containers and label if possible — helps inspection and handling.
• Bring extra supplies — spare bottles, breast pads, and a small cooler or gel/ice packs (these may be inspected).
• Onboard storage — airline refrigerators are not guaranteed; keep milk with you in a cooler if needed.

If you want, check with Turkish Airlines customer service before travel for any route-specific details, and carry your infant’s ID/passport when travelling.
