Holidaymakers warned over major hand luggage rule change across Europe

Starting next month, the 100ml liquid rule will be reinstated across all European airports. Earlier this year, new CT scanners were rolled out at several European airports, allowing passengers to carry larger quantities of liquids in their hand luggage.

Travellers could carry up to two litres of liquids, and the scanners also eliminated the need for people to remove electronics like laptops and phones from their bags. However, despite the advanced scanners, passengers flying from European airports will need to ensure that the liquids in their carry-on luggage do not exceed 100ml from September 1, 2024. The temporary restriction was announced by the European Commission following news that the Department for Transport (DfT) would be bringing back the liquids rule at Leeds Bradford, London City, Aberdeen, Teesside and Southend airports.
