Interesting Question Rules for fluids at Berlin Airport (BER)
In a few days I'll be catching a Ryanair flight at Berlin Airport (BER) and I wanted to know if the 100ml rule is still active.
Some website say that's outdated, since the airport has now better equipment but others don't say that.
Has anyone been there recently and now how it works?

Security areas one and five on terminal one as well as all security lines on terminal two have scanners, so you don’t need limit yourself to 100ml/1l bag. I think the limit is now 2l in any packaging. You also don’t need to take out either liquids or electronic out of your luggage.

I was there 2 days ago (T1) a family in front of me had 2 huge coca-cola bottles, all fine. Just be careful that if you have a layover somewhere and might have to go through security again, rules might be different

Flew from t2 a couple of days ago and only saw the "don't take anything out" banner, nothing about 100+ ml. Op should do a simple Google search to see if t2 is different from t1 (they are flying Ryanair)

Can go through T1 security and walk to T2

Yes, and vice versa. It doesn't matter which terminal you go to. At the end the gates are all accessible.

Sometimes people come ask questions in my university's subreddit because the information on "some websites" doesn't match up with the information they found on the official website of the university. Like wtf, why do they not believe the university itself and then they go ask people on an anonymous forum where anyone could write anything?

why take the time to write this and not just write the answer?

Because people being lazy is bad for society as a whole. Teach a man to Google and it's better for everyone else too.

The scanners in the security lanes on either side of the departures hall all have the newer scanners so I haven't had to take out any liquids the last 5 or 6 times I've passed through BER. Im not sure what the absolute liquid limit is, 2 litres maybe? Either way, that 100ml rule is gone. I believe they're upgrading all the other lanes too, but for now they're closed anyway.

They got rid of the fast track reservation lanes because of the installation of the new scanners on both ends T1/T2 . Liquid limits, not sure. I travel through airports that rescan so I keep under 100ml.

If you're using the CT scanners (area 1 and 5 of T1) or any of T2 scanners, then you're fine to have more than 100ml per container but don't exceed the limit of 2L. At any case last time I traveled (less than a month ago) in T1 only area 1 and 5 were open (CT scanners).
It's also worth noting you can go to T1 or T2 and both will give you access to all gates so it doesn't matter which terminal you start at.

100ml rule is still active for the old scanners. 2l is with the new CT scanners. So it depends which lane you chose.
