Manchester Airport liquid rules — FAQs (2026)
What are Manchester Airport security liquids rules in 2026?
Manchester Airport currently enforces the 100ml per container hand luggage liquid rule. All containers must be 100ml or smaller and fit in a single 1-litre clear resealable bag.
Can I take more than 100ml through Manchester Airport?
Not yet. Manchester is rolling out CT scanners across terminals but has not confirmed a permanent 2L allowance, so pack to the 100ml rule and check signage on the day.
Do I need to take liquids out of my bag at Manchester Airport?
Yes — Manchester Airport security still requires your clear liquids bag to come out of hand luggage and go in the tray at the standard lanes.
What counts as a liquid at Manchester Airport security?
Anything pourable or spreadable — drinks, toiletries, gels, pastes, creams, aerosols, mascara, and soft cheeses. Each container must be 100ml or smaller inside your 1-litre clear bag.
