Every country has its own regulations for carrying on breast milk. We’ve put together this list of resources to help you plan your travels and understand each country’s requirements (and restrictions) for carrying on breast milk.
Milk Stork recommends contacting your airline carrier to confirm any country-specific details.

Updated 11/26/23
While security agencies have posted these policies online, they may be inconsistently enforced by security personnel.
