Are we allowed to take childrens' juice/drinks on planes again?

As I was going to fill their beakers up with water before we go (to Rome) as they always seem to be desperate for a drink at inopportune moments.

TIA

check with the airline. DP just gone to Austria and restrictions are still in effect to and from there. Its worth noting that they may make you drink the liquids - altho DP had an unopened bottle of water so he didn't have to

is still only 100ml of liquid
can't you take the bottles empty on the plane and ask to have them filled once on board?

You can do so only after Security. Almost had a riot on a Monarch flight from France last week when the adults were offered tea or coffee but we had to ask for the kids to get water as nothing else to drink in the "meal" pack unless you bought from bar and there had been nowhere to buy much after Security apart from Duty Free. Medicines etc limited to 100ml for hand luggage in see-through bag and take a repeat prescription to prove it is needed.

In theory you can only take 100ml and in a similar size container, i.e. you can't take a one litre bottle filled with only 100ml of drink. In practice, I've flown three or four times since the new restrictions and always took a couple of beakers with me (which must be approx. 200ml) filled to the top with water and although I had to try the drinks in front of them, I've never been told to empty them. You're also supposed to put these things into a transparent plastic bag and we forgot last time. We were told we'd have to buy one for a ridiculous amount of money (I can't remember what), but as we were only carrying 2 beakers and one bottle, I just carried them in my hand and it was fine, but you never know how pedantic they're going to be about it, so I'd take one next time just in case.

Thank you everyone very much and for the link Babedia. I'm rubbish at Googling so it was brilliant to get such quick answers.

Think I'll buy some small water bottles once through security and leave their beakers at home.
