UK Airports Begin Removing 100ml Liquid Limit in Hand Luggage: What’s Changing in 2025?

11 July 2025 · Europe Permit

  • ✈️ UK airports like Birmingham and Edinburgh have removed the 100ml liquid rule as of July 2025.

  • 🧴 Travelers can now carry up to 2 litres of liquids in hand luggage through upgraded scanners.

  • 💻 New 3D CT scanners also allow electronics like laptops to remain inside bags during checks.

  • 💷 These airports invested heavily to install the latest security screening systems.

  • ⏳ The change is expected to speed up security lines and reduce stress for passengers.

  • ⚠️ Not all UK airports have adopted the new rule—major hubs like Heathrow and Gatwick still follow old guidelines.

  • 🧭 Travelers may face confusion due to inconsistent rules across departure and return airports.

  • 📜 UK regulations now let individual airports implement the relaxed rules once scanners are approved.

  • 🌍 Most EU airports still enforce the 100ml limit until similar tech gets rolled out and certified.

  • 🎒 Travelers should always check the liquid and luggage rules for each airport they fly through.
