Flight rules Europe

Do internal French flights have the same "must check your liquids or under 3 oz. in a baggy" rule as the USA flights?

Best to review the rules of that airline and the European equivalent of the TSA. While in a broad sense rules for liquids and permissable objects are the same, the details can differ. As an example, in the US you are allowed to carry on a corkscrew...in the EU, you are not. In a related note, I thought I had read something about relaxing the liquids ban sometime this year...I will have to search around.

Paul, I read an article recently that says that the US hopes to eliminate the liquid restriction towards the end of this year. Each airport has to install better machines for carry-on inspections. So this will end up being a slow roll-out and probably confusing until all US airports have completed this. Hopefully this is still true.
