Passengers travelling from Birmingham Airport will soon be able to take up to two litres of liquid on board planes - but in the meantime confusion reigns and they are faced with large queues.
BHX is one of the first airports in the country to have applied to implement the new security screening standards for passenger and cabin baggage.
The rule will allow for liquids of up to two litres to be taken through in cabin baggage – but passengers must stick to the current 100ml restriction rule until the airport has received 'regulatory approval'.
The airport has shared advice on liquids for passengers who are due to depart from BHX in the coming weeks:The quantity of individual items at 100ml is unlimited.Liquids, pastes, and gels stay in hand luggage during the security search area, do not remove them.No bottles/cans of water, carbonated or soft drinks over 100ml can be carried through in hand luggage.
Insulated water bottles can be carried through security but need to be empty - refill stations can be found at the airport.When going through security please ensure all items are out of pockets including phones, keys, coins, and tissues etc. Watches can be left on.
