Schiphol, Rotterdam The Hague Airport and Eindhoven Airport go back to international standard for liquids in hand baggage

As of 1 September 2024, it is no longer allowed to take liquids in packaging larger than 100 ml in hand baggage. Despite previously relaxing the rules after the introduction of CT scanners, Schiphol, Rotterdam The Hague Airport and Eindhoven Airport are going back to the international standard of a maximum of 100 ml per package. This change is not related to any revision in threat levels. In taking this measure, the airports are following new guidelines from the European Commission. 

All liquids in packages up to 100 ml are still allowed in hand baggage. Furthermore, the other rules remain unchanged. This means that electronics, such as laptops and phones, can still stay in hand baggage after 1 September 2024. 

The airports are taking several measures to inform travellers about the adjusted rules. This includes extensive information provision and water collectors at security where travellers can empty their drink bottles. Additional staff will also be deployed to inform passengers about the changed rules for liquids. Travellers are advised to pack larger quantities of liquids in their hold baggage – advice that has always been given due to differences in airport policies worldwide. 

We ask our travellers for their understanding and cooperation to ensure a smooth travel experience for everyone.
