Liquids on airlines within France?

Does anyone know about whether the 1-quart bag can be taken on European airlines? We'll be transferring from AA to Air France, and our checked luggage will go straight through--no chance to pack the stuff if necessary.

Good question P M - We will be flying United to Frankfurt and then on a connecting Luftansa flight to CDG. Also no chance to repack.

They don't check them for intra-Europe flights. Basically, if your flights do not involve US and UK (or perhaps a few other countries in the world), things are just like before 8/10.

All the extra security - stuff in bags, no liquids, pad down - at CDG or other European airports take place at the jetway or a secluded area for US-bound flights.

I think I won't take a chance: I figured out I could stuff my husband's laptop into a fold-up bag. Once we land at CDG the laptop will come out and my 2 flight pillows will go in, along with the liquids, and I'll check the fold-up bag.

Thanks, that's a big relief.

I am flying Air France from Barcelona to Paris solely with carry on--a small suitcase and a shoulder bag. I was told there are no restrictions on liquids, US restrictions do not apply. Of course, I will reconfirm this a day or two before my flight in case of any changes.

Flew Air France within France two weeks ago. There were no restrictions on liquids. To and from the U.S., enforcement was inconsistent.
