'Half-term is a popular time for families to get away for some guaranteed sunshine'
Passengers heading off on a break abroad in the coming weeks have been issued a warning over hand luggage.
It comes as new security scanners which will bring an end to the 100ml liquid rule are being rolled out at airports across the UK. Initially the government set a nominal deadline of June 1 2024 for the Next Generation Security Checkpoint Scanners to be installed in major airports. ABTA Director of Public Affairs, Luke Petherbridge, said: "Half-term is a popular time for families to get away for some guaranteed sunshine, with European favourites such as Spain, Greece, Turkey and Portugal set to welcome significant numbers of visitors. To help everyone enjoy a stress-free experience this half-term, our message is simple you can't go wrong if you stick to the current rules around liquids and laptops when preparing your hand luggage.
Liquids must be taken out of your bag when going through security, and put in a single, transparent, resealable 20cm x 20cm plastic bag, with just one bag per person.
