"Bottles and containers of up to two litres are now permitted at LHR security, meaning that the extra-large bottle of sun cream or shampoo can make it into your luggage without fear that it will be binned. The changes, which see the 19-year-long limit on liquids come to an end, mean it is quicker and easier for travellers to pass through security checks."
"Heathrow is one of the last major UK airports to make the changes to its security machines, more than seven years after the 'next generation' tech was first announced. The airport's upgrades cost a whopping £1 billion. So, what you still need to faff about with at security? Refillable metal or 'double walled' or vacuum containers still need to be emptied, but can be refilled once you're airside."
"The rollout of swanky new CT scanners at airports up and down the UK over the last few years has eliminated a load of faff at security. Not only can passengers pass through with bigger toiletries, but they can leave laptops stored snugly in their luggage. The upgrades have come at a good time, too, ready for anyone planning a trip during the February half-term and Easter holidays."
Heathrow has removed the 100ml liquids restriction and now permits bottles and containers up to two litres at security. New CT scanners allow passengers to keep laptops inside their hand luggage. The airport invested around £1 billion in upgraded security machines more than seven years after the technology was first announced. Refillable metal, double-walled or vacuum containers must be emptied and can be refilled once airside. Coins, keys, phones, coats and cabin baggage still require trays or separate screening. The new rules apply across terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5 and aim to speed up holiday travel.
