European airports are finally scrapping strict 100ml liquid rule after nearly 20 years
TWO UK airports have already scrapped the strict liquid rules - and European airports are now following. Earlier this month, Birmingham Airport and Edinburgh Airport confirmed that the strict 100ml restrictions had been scrapped. 3 The first UK airports to do so, it means passengers can take up to two litres of liquids in their hand luggage for the first time in nearly 20 years. And European airports are now following suit. The European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) tested the new screening last month, with it now being introduced. Milan Airport has already rolled out the new rules at parts of the airport. The website states: "At Milan Linate and Milan Malpensa Terminal 1, it is once again permitted to carry liquids, aerosols, and gels in individual containers with a maximum capacity of 2 litres, without the need to separate them from hand luggage." It is yet to be rolled out in Terminal 2. Rome has also rolled out the new rules, confirming on the website: "Starting from July 26, 2025, in compliance with new European Commission regulations, the transport of liquids in hand luggage will be allowed in containers with a capacity of up to 2 litres. "Liquid containers with a capacity greater than 2L may be transported in hand luggage only if empty; otherwise, they must be checked in with hold luggage at the check-in desk." Other airports that are likely to follow suit are large hubs such as Amsterdam. But the new CT scanners that allow the liquid rules to be scrapped are extremely expensive. Airport security rule changes London Heathrow is expected to pay a huge £1billion to roll out the new machines. The airport's Chief Executive Thomas Woldbye said the introduction of new machines was slow as they had "as many scanners as all of the British airports put together". But the cost and labour means smaller airports across Europe are unlikely to be scrapping the rules any time soon. It is also not mandatory - so many resist rolling out the machines. 3 Brits are still urged to check the liquid rules before flying from any airport. The strict 100ml liquid rules were rolled out in 2006 after a thwarted terror attack which would use liquid bombs in water bottles. The restrictions were initially scrapped last summer with airports like London City allowing 2 litres of liquids. However, they were reversed just weeks later by the government. The Sun's Head of Travel explains what the liquid changes mean for your holiday The Sun's Head of Travel Lisa Minot has explained how the new scanners will change the way Brits travel through UK airports. "The new generation of CT scanners will be a huge boost to passengers flying out of UK airports. "Laptops and other electronic devices can stay in your luggage and there's no need to stick to the current 100ml liquid restriction that has been in place for the last 18 years. "Eventually, you'll be able to take up to two litres of liquids without having to remove them from your hand luggage. "But it's worth bearing in mind that not all airports across the globe have the equipment. "You may well be able to fly out with liquids over 100ml - but if the airport you fly home from doesn't have them yet you could find yourself coming a cropper. "While we transition over the next couple of years you'll need to make sure you're aware of the arrangements in any airport you fly through." In the meantime, here is the common item packed by families that is being flagged by the new airport scanners. And we've rounded up all of the hand luggage rules for UK airlines. 3

Chinese tourist throws a tantrum over luggage at Italy's Milan Airport; watch the viral video
Ah, airports! These are modern-day fight clubs where travellers are most of the time dueling with either visa issues, immigrations, jet lag, long queues, and, of course, hitting the ultimate level baggage weight limits. Let's not shy away from admitting that we all have faced the issue of overweight luggage at some point of time in our travel career. It's an upsetting scene especially if we have to pay a hefty sum for that while travelling. However, in such cases all we do is request the airline staff to waive off or reduce the extra cost unlike this Chinese woman who started throwing a tantrum at the Milan Airport in Italy over the luggage being overweight! The Chinese tourist, when told that her suitcase was overweight and she'd need to shed some load or cough some extra euros, she chose a third option: rolling on the floor in protest. Like Literally. The video went viral and garnered all kinds of responses online. According to a video that went viral on social media in June, a Chinese woman can be seen at the Milan Airport in Italy rolling on the floor like a toddler and shouting all because she was stopped at the boarding gate for her baggage exceeding the permitted weight limit. The airport staff gave her the option to either remove some clothes from her bags or pay an extra amount but it seemed like she did not want to either. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ingin Tahu Tentang Diagnosis Limfoma?

She can be seen knocking her hands on the floor, kicking her legs, and shouting. Even the staff of the airport look surprised and confused wondering what to do. In the background we can also see other passengers making a video of her. They look half-concerned and half-amused, as airline staff tried to reason with her. But reason had clearly gone on a vacation of its own in the video it seems! This video sparked a debate on social media soon being shared. While some people had hilarious reactions, calling the woman 'cockroach lady' because of her drama, others were sympathising with her or even doing psychological diagnosis on her tantrum. Seems like the woman was already having a tough day and the overweight luggage acted as a cherry on the top! Who knows. Reportedly, the airport staff managed to calm her down and booked her on another flight.
