The changes will see the 100ml liquid rule increased to two litres, and another update to the rules will mean passengers won’t need to remove electrical items from bags at security either.

Since November 2006, travellers with cabin bags have only been allowed to take liquids, such as toiletries, in 100ml bottles and inside a clear plastic bag, for security reasons.

Suitcases packed in the airplane hold have always been allowed to carry larger quantities of liquids.
