2 major UK airports scrap the 100ml liquid limit

Airport security changes

New CT (Computed Tomography) scanners have been rolled out at most major airports, but there have been setbacks, delays and changes for what this actually means for travellers.

However, there has recently been new changes at ten major UK airports as they become fully equipped with the new CT scanners, allowing passengers to leave electrical items and liquids in their bags when passing through security.

Previously, passengers had to take out their laptops, phones and other electrical items, which could cause delays and queues at peak times. Travellers also had to remove liquids and place them in a clear plastic bag.

At two airports, the 100ml liquid limit has been scrapped, and passengers can bring liquids in bottles up to 2 litres in their hand luggage, too.

At the other eight airports, the 100ml liquid limit rule still remains in place, for now. It does mean you don't have to fit them all into a small clear bag.
