The European Commission outlined guidelines for cabin luggage, effective 1 September 2024, allowance of one cabin bag and one personal item will be allowed. Cabin bag dimensions (including handles and wheels) must not exceed 55 x 40 x 20cm, while personal items should be no larger than 40 x 30 x 15cm. The personal item, such as a handbag, backpack, or laptop bag, must fit under the seat in front of the passenger. Effective from 1 September 2024, the maximum allowed size for individual liquid containers will revert to the standard 100 ml for airports. Airports that already limit liquids to 100 ml or that have not deployed EDSCB equipment will not be affected by this change. This precautionary measure is not in response to any new threat but addresses a temporary technical issue, undertaken in alignment with the EU’s international partners. The Commission is collaborating closely with Member States and the European Civil Aviation Conference to develop swift technical solutions, ensuring the highest standards of safety and security in air travel.
