Glasgow Airport is one of the top spots for those looking to travel abroad with millions of passengers jetting off from here each year.

However, travelling by plane can become a stressful task when rules and regulations are not adhered to, spoiling the start of your holiday.

This is why it is important to stay up to date with the rules and make sure what you are carrying through security won't hold you or your fellow passengers up.

Why are there restrictions on liquids at UK airports?

The current liquid rules were implemented in 2006 to prevent those with hostile intent from carrying explosive liquids onto planes.

This rule is set to change by 2024 with the installation of new technology in airports throughout the country.

Edinburgh Airport is one of those installing the new scanners, with the location set to implement the new rules in June.

Does the 100ml liquid rule still apply at Glasgow Airport?

The restrictions on liquids in hand luggage still apply at Glasgow Airport with these needing to be stored in 100ml or less containers to be allowed on flights.

According to Glasgow Airport, liquids in larger containers will not be allowed through security.

Those with larger containers will need to pack these in their hold luggage.

The only exemptions on hand luggage liquids at Glasgow Airport apply to baby food/milk (this may be checked by security), liquid medicines (evidence in the form of a GP note may be required) and airport purchases.
