Changes to Baggage Rules at Heathrow Airport
January 26, 2026
At Heathrow Airport, passengers can now bring liquids in containers up to two liters and leave laptops in their bags without using transparent pouches. This change is due to the installation of new CT scanners that enhance efficiency and security. Although Heathrow is the largest airport to adopt this technology, other airports in the UK had previously made similar changes. However, passengers should check baggage restrictions at their departure airports. This change only applies to flights departing from Heathrow.
