EU Travel Alert: New Carry-On Rules May Cause Airport Chaos
Flying to an EU country? Prepare for a blast from the past with updated carry-on luggage rules. Liquids and electronics out of your bags at security, please! New scanners aren’t quite ready, so expect delays until mid-2025. Don’t forget that 100 ml rule—it’s back in…
Hot Take:
Looks like the airport security dance just got a remix, and we’re all about to become expert choreographers of our carry-ons. Just when you thought you had packing down to an art, the EU had other plans. Grab your liquids and electronics, folks; it’s time for a security striptease!
Key Points:
- The EU has reverted to older carry-on luggage rules, requiring the removal of liquids and electronics at security checkpoints.
- The changes are temporary, pending the full implementation of new C3 security scanners, which has been delayed past the original June 2024 deadline.
- These rules affect airports in EU countries, parts of the UK, Iceland, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and Norway.
- Only airports with installed C3 scanners are rolling back their rules; others continue with older procedures.
- Liquid containers must be no bigger than 100 milliliters and placed in a clear plastic bag; exceptions exist for certain health and dietary needs.
