United Kingdom airport liquid rules
22 airports · 16 with verified rules · 6 unknown
Rules in United Kingdom are inconsistent between airports — some allow up to 2 litres in the cabin, others still enforce 100ml. Always check the specific airport you're departing from, and pack to the stricter rule on a return trip.
Rule basis: 16 of 22 airports in United Kingdom have verified or inherited rule data. The rest default to the global 100ml baseline.
What to do: Pack to the stricter rule on a return trip — the airport you fly home from sets the limit, not the airline.
Liquid Limits is a travel planning tool, not an official aviation source. Always confirm with the airport before you travel.
Traveller warning: the airport you depart from sets the rule, not the airline. On a return flight you'll face the rule at the airport you fly home from — which may be stricter than your outbound airport.
