The end of the 100ml limit for carry-on luggage? What is about to change

For nearly 20 years, liquids in carry-on baggage have been strictly limited to 100 ml per container, inside a one-litre transparent bag. This rule, implemented for security reasons, could soon disappear.
Thanks to new 3D scanner technologies, several European airports—such as those in Amsterdam, London City, Rome, or Milan—have begun to relax restrictions, allowing for more free travel. Good news for travelers in a hurry... provided you are well aware of the current limits.

FAQ – Liquids in carry-on rule: what is (or isn't) changing

Can I already bring liquids > 100 ml?

Only in airports equipped with the new scanners (certain terminals in London, Rome, Milan, Amsterdam). Elsewhere, the rule still applies.

Do I still need to take out liquids and electronics?

In most airports, yes. But in those equipped with the new technologies, you can leave your PC and your toiletry bag in your carry-on.

When will the 100 ml rule be removed in France?

By the end of 2025 according to announcements, but implementation will depend on airport equipment.

Should I still provide a plastic bag for liquids?

Yes, as long as you do not know if your terminal is equipped. It is the default rule at the moment.

Which carry-on luggage should I choose for an express passage through security?

A bag with lay-flat opening, separate compartments, and quick access to front pockets. All our carry-on luggage is designed for this.
