The new rule is due to the implementation of new 3D security scanners, which have allowed several airports to axe the meagre 100ml limit.

The 15 international airports in the UK are set to scrap the pesky 100ml rule.

But so far, only two thirds of that list have adopted the new policy.

This leaves 10 airports that have permitted the higher levels of liquid on board.

Tourists now arriving or departing from the UK can expect faster security checks as new 3D CT scanners start to replace older systems.

The infamous 100ml rule is now set to go, but the current number of airports that have enacted this policy is still limited.

Cutting-edge technology will allow passengers to carry a whopping two litres of of liquids in their hand luggage - without needing to remove them at security.

The new airports which will have this groundbreaking rule are Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Gatwick, Leeds, Bradford, London City, Luton, Newcastle, Southend and Teesside.

For travellers going through any of these airports, liquids in containers of up to 100ml are still allowed.

There is no restriction on the amount of liquids that can be carried in these containers.

Holidaygoers can also leave electronics such as laptops inside their bags thanks to the new technology.

The latest state-of-the-art CT scanners have been engineered with much better 3D imaging technology.

Traditional X-ray machines produce two-dimensional images.

Ever since, travellers have gotten accustomed to not bringing more than that amount on holiday.

They were also condemned to opening their bags up every time they entered security checkpoints.
