August 1, 2025 — Europe’s airports are on the verge of a travel revolution. The European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) is expected to give its final approval to lift the long-standing 100ml liquid restriction for carry-on luggage — a major shift enabled by cutting-edge 3D CT scanners already operating at key airports like Malpensa (Milan) and Fiumicino (Rome).
This technological leap means travelers will soon be able to bring full-size bottles of wine, olive oil, limoncello, and other liquid goods directly in their hand luggage — with no need for resealable plastic bags or size restrictions.
Why This Matters:
- No more security confiscations of your gourmet souvenirs
- Boosts local economies by enabling travelers to support regional food and beverage producers
- Streamlines security with faster, more detailed baggage screening
- Empowers food tourism by removing a major logistical headache
For food lovers and globetrotters alike, this update is nothing short of a game-changer. Whether you’re bringing back a bottle of Amarone from Italy, lavender oil from France, or truffle oil from Croatia — your carry-on is about to become a lot more flavorful.
The official confirmation is expected between late July and early August 2025, but many airports have already started implementing the new system.
Where It’s Already Happening:
- Malpensa Airport (MXP), Milan
- Fiumicino Airport (FCO), Rome
- Other European hubs expected to follow soon
This change reflects not only a shift in security technology but also a broader rethinking of how we integrate culture, cuisine, and convenience into the travel experience.
🛫 So next time you’re traveling in Europe, you might want to save room in your carry-on — your favorite bottle of olive oil no longer needs to be left behind.
