The new rule is due to the implementation of new 3D security scanners, which have allowed several airports to axe the meagre 100ml limit.
The 15 international airports in the UK are set to scrap the pesky 100ml rule.
But so far, only two thirds of that list have adopted the new policy.
This leaves 10 airports that have permitted the higher levels of liquid on board.

Tourists now arriving or departing from the UK can expect faster security checks as new 3D CT scanners start to replace older systems.
The infamous 100ml rule is now set to go, but the current number of airports that have enacted this policy is still limited.
Cutting-edge technology will allow passengers to carry a whopping two litres of of liquids in their hand luggage - without needing to remove them at security.
The new airports which will have this groundbreaking rule are Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Gatwick, Leeds, Bradford, London City, Luton, Newcastle, Southend and Teesside.
For travellers going through any of these airports, liquids in containers of up to 100ml are still allowed.
There is no restriction on the amount of liquids that can be carried in these containers.
How the Passport Card Can Help You Fly Without a Real ID
Passengers can keep their liquids in their hand luggage - which removes the need for a separate plastic bag.
Holidaygoers can also leave electronics such as laptops inside their bags thanks to the new technology.
The latest state-of-the-art CT scanners have been engineered with much better 3D imaging technology.
Traditional X-ray machines produce two-dimensional images.
These items are prohibited from carry-on luggage Power banks
Cell phone battery charging cases
Rechargeable and non-rechargeable lithium batteries
Cell phone batteries
Laptop batteries
External batteries
Portable rechargers
But these new breakthrough scanners create a more detailed, rotatable 3D visualisation of your baggage.
The 100ml limit was rolled out in 2006.
Ever since, travellers have gotten accustomed to not bringing more than that amount on holiday.
They were also condemned to opening their bags up every time they entered security checkpoints.
But these revolutionary scanners are set to change this.
International airports such as Glasgow, Heathrow, Manchester, Stansted and Liverpool are still yet to remove the strict limit.

I moved to Spain 4 years ago & will never be bored of it – I don't work & pick my kids up from school & go to the pool
Jodie revealed how people can also make the move to Spain LIFE'S A BEACH I moved to Spain 4 years ago & will never be bored of it – I don't work & pick my kids up from school & go to the pool Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MUM has shared how her family ditched the UK to live in Spain four years ago and will 'never be bored' of her new life. Jodie Marlow, who shares clips of her new sunny lifestyle online, shared how she doesn't miss the rainy weather at all, and spends her days enjoying the sun. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 UK mum Jodie Marlow has 17,000 followers who follow her new life in Spain Credit: Tiktok/JodieMarlow 5 Jodie picks her kids up from school at 1.30pm in summer and takes them straight to the pool Credit: Tiktok/JodieMarlow 5 Jodie said she will never get bored of her life in Spain Credit: Getty Jodie, who is a stay-at-home mum, said her two boys finish school at 1.30pm in summer and they spend afternoons playing in the pool. In a clip on her @jodiemar1ow account, which has over 1,790 likes, she said: 'Four years in & don't think I'll ever get bored of this.' She added that the weather is perfect for her, with temperatures in the top 20s or 30s every day. Jodie said: 'It's not too hot, not too cold. Like, I can wear my nice summer dresses, which I love.' When her kids are at school, she spends her time picking up fruit and veg at the local market, or going for a pamper, including laser hair surgery. She then does housework before picking up the boys and having some lunch with them. Meanwhile, weekends are spent exploring gorgeous nearby beaches and dining out in local restaurants. MOVING TO SPAIN Finally, Jodie advised people on how they can also make the move to Spain. She shared: 'If you hold a UK British passport, you can't just move to Spain like you could pre-Brexit, you do need a visa. 'The working visa you could look into getting dependent on if you've got a specialised job. I quit my job and did a complete 180 moving to Spain - beer is just $3 a pint and my life is so much better 'The self-employed visa, basically they said to us it's just impossible to get, so we didn't even try with that. 'But the digital nomad visa allows anyone that is working online, as long as you are earning a set amount of money that provides for if there's four of you for the family, you can pay for all four of you, and they set out exactly how much that would be.' Since Brexit, UK citizens, and non-EU citizens require a visa to stay longer than 90 days. 5 Jodie said the weather is usually perfect for her Credit: Getty SOCIAL REACTION Many people were quick to chime in and comment on her new life in Spain, and praise her for making the move. One said: 'It's beautiful there, my sister moved there 26 yrs ago, no regrets.' A second added: 'I don't think you could ever get bored of that lifestyle.' Meanwhile, and a third joked: 'You sure you wouldn't rather be stuck indoors looking out at the rain?' Jodie replied: 'deffo don't miss that side of the uk.' 5 Jodie advised getting a digital nomad visa if you want to make the move Credit: Alamy

Scottish city beats London as it's named 'best in UK for young people' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SCOTTISH city has been named "best in the UK" for young people - beating London.

Scotland's capital, Edinburgh, was ranked in seventh place above locations including Mexico City in Mexico and Shanghai in China. Residents praised its green spaces and access to nature, as well as its walkability. According to Time Out, the city ranked highly for its nature, with 95 per cent of 20-somethings rating this particular aspect. Edinburgh has a range of famous green spaces, including The Meadows and Princes Street Gardens. The capital is also home to Arthur's Seat, offering world class views of the city. Time Out wrote: "Edinburgh topped several categories in our survey of Gen Z, receiving the highest score for green spaces and access to nature (according to 95 per cent of 20-somethings living there) and walkability (89 per cent of Gen Z say the city is walkable)." The only other UK city to appear on the list is London, coming in at ninth place. Writers said: "London is known for its free art and culture, so it's not surprising that a whopping 96 per cent of Gen Z living there rated its culture scene highly. "The city's food scene also received a tonne of praise in our survey, with 95 percent of young people rating it highly. Stunning Scots hotel with jaw-dropping views and spa, right in the city centre "Unsurprisingly, the UK capital didn't fare too well for affordability; only 45 per cent agree it's a budget-friendly place to live." Bangkok, Thailand, took the top spot in the world's best cities ranking thanks to its "stand-out scores in happiness" and affordability. Gen Z residents also say it's easy to make friends in the city. Edinburgh was recently ranked third in the world for culture by travel experts.

I visited a tranquil seaside village and couldn't believe how stunning it was
I visited a tranquil seaside village and couldn't believe how stunning it was The breathtaking coastal village left a lasting impression on one writer and her family The beautiful village impressed our writer (Image: Amber O'Connor) For anyone planning a staycation, North Cornwall could be a fantastic choice. It's home to some of Britain's most picturesque locations, including Newquay and Bude. Another popular spot is Tintagel, where both the village and its famous castle attract those interested in Arthurian legend. A 10-minute drive from Tintagel, there's a lesser-known village I'd recommend to anyone looking for a seaside escape: Boscastle. I was lucky enough to visit the small harbour village on holiday a few years ago, and I've dreamed about it every summer since. While Boscastle's charms won't surprise anyone lucky enough to live nearby, some visitors might consider it a hidden gem. I'm sorry to say I wasn't familiar with the village before our family holiday there, but it's now somewhere I'll never forget - and can't wait to see again on another trip. It's perfectly located for visitors planning to explore the breathtaking coastline, reports the Express. Here's what I loved about my visit and would recommend to visitors, plus what TripAdvisor reviewers say. Boscastle Amber loved her holiday to Boscastle (Image: Getty) Boscastle is the place to go for Cornish charm and stunning views. Tourists love the natural harbour (pack a swimsuit), clifftop walks, and tea rooms. We stayed in the village and enjoyed daily walks around the picturesque harbour. The views are hard to beat. On TripAdvisor, one review reads: "This is so beautiful and peaceful. The scenery is stunning... It has such a unique feel to it. Well worth staying or visiting it won't disappoint." Another says: "We have been coming back to Boscastle as a family for over 25 years and the harbour is still breathtaking." Swimming in the harbour, splashing about in the beautiful blue water, was a personal highlight. While I wasn't brave enough, it was lots of fun watching people jump off the harbour wall, and the ice cream we had once we dried off was delicious. Talk about memories that will last a lifetime. There's another fascinating side to Boscaslte too. It's long been associated with witchcraft. I'd recommend a visit to the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic. On TripAdvisor, a reviewer writes: "Superb museum. Informative and thought provoking. Some parts are potentially scary for younger children. Also quite narrow rooms if really busy. Well presented exhibits for those into witchcraft or just interested. Staff very helpful. We booked tickets prior to the visit which I'd suggest as it gets really busy." Tintagel Tintagel Castle attracts visitors from all over the country (Image: Getty) Tintagel is a must-see for King Arthur fans. We enjoyed exploring the village, and we were just as impressed by our visit to Tintagel Castle (English Heritage). With its dramatic location on rugged clifftops, walking among the castle's ruins feels like stepping back in time. It's easy to see why it's said King Arthur was conceived there. A place of legend and myth, the atmosphere is palpable, and the views are second to none. On TripAdvisor, one reviewer says: "Tintagel Castle is simply breathtaking. Standing there, surrounded by such rich history and incredible scenery, you can't help but feel a gentle sense of awe. The ruins, the cliffs, Merlin's Cave – it's magical, especially when the tide is low and you can explore more closely." Article continues below They added: "For me, as someone who is neurodivergent, it was a little overwhelming at times because it's such a popular tourist attraction. I think if I'd been able to visit alone or at a quieter time, the experience would have felt different – though perhaps more isolated, so it's hard to say."
