When will UK airports ditch 100ml liquids rule? Latest updates from Gatwick, Manchester and more

There are plenty of rules around what you can and can't take in hand luggage, but one restriction that never fails to frustrate holidaymakers is the 100ml liquids limit.

Under the current restriction, still in place at other UK airports, you can take liquids under 100ml but these must be in a re-sealable plastic bag that can be no larger than 20cm x 20cm and cannot exceed one litre. It's worth noting that you’re limited to one plastic bag per person.

However, there is a light at the end of the tunnel as UK airports have been told to scrap the rules by June 2024 by the government, with London City becoming the first UK airport to ditch the restriction this week.
