Travellers passing through certain UK airports can now bring up to two litres of liquids in their hand luggage. Thanks to the introduction of new 3D security scanners, some airports have

axed the 100ml liquid limit. People arriving in the UK and those leaving the country can look forward to more efficient security checks as new 3D CT scanners start to replace older systems

in various major airports. The long-standing regulation that limits liquids to 100ml in carry-on luggage is being eliminated, but this change is currently only applicable at select

airports—see the full list below. The advanced security scanners enable passengers to bring liquids up to two litres in their hand luggage without needing to take them out at security. The

new technology has been introduced at the following airports as part of the UK government's latest rollout. AIRPORTS WITH THE NEW RULE * BRISTOL * EDINBURGH * GATWICK * LEEDS BRADFORD *

LONDON CITY * LUTON * NEWCASTLE * SOUTHEND * TEESSIDE For those passing through the airports listed above, liquids in containers holding a maximum of 100ml are still allowed. The overall

amount of liquids that can be carried in these containers is not restricted. Passengers can store their liquids in their carry-on luggage, without needing a separate resealable plastic bag.

Travellers can also keep laptops and other electronic gadgets in their bags. The new cutting-edge CT scanners have been designed with advanced 3D imaging technology. Compared to conventional

X-ray machines that deliver a two-dimensional image, the latest scanners generate a clearer, rotatable 3D representation of your luggage. Ever since the 100ml liquid limit was implemented

in 2006, passengers have become used to unloading their bags at security. However, the new scanners aim to change this, helping to save time and lessen stress at airport security. AIRPORTS

WITH THE OLDER RULE * ABERDEEN * BIRMINGHAM * BOURNEMOUTH * CARDIFF * EAST MIDLANDS * GLASGOW * GLASGOW PRESTWICK * HEATHROW * INVERNESS * ISLE OF MAN * LIVERPOOL * MANCHESTER * NEWQUAY *

NORWICH * SOUTHAMPTON * STANSTED For the remaining airports that have not yet updated to the new 3D security scanners, the 100ml liquid limit is still enforced. The ruling means every liquid

container in your carry-on luggage should not exceed 100ml. All liquid containers need to be stored in one clear, resealable plastic bag. This bag should not be bigger than 20cm x 20cm and

must have a maximum capacity of one litre. Certain liquids, such as essential medications, liquids for specific dietary requirements, and baby food or milk, are not subject to the 100ml

restriction. A Department for Transport spokesperson confirmed that the new airport security measures, including those related to liquids in hand luggage, are not being rolled out

nationwide, and the timelines vary by each individual airport. People travelling in and out of the UK are advised to check the current rules of their specific airport before packing to avoid

any surprises or restrictions. The limit on liquids during flights was established in 2006 following the successful intervention by British police, who stopped an Islamist terror scheme

aimed at detonating explosives on transatlantic flights. The attackers intended to conceal liquid explosives as soft drinks in their carry-on luggage.
