Does the 100 ml rule apply to carry-on luggage? In 2025, the switch to CT scanners will mean that some European airports will already allow up to 2 liters per container—for example, Rome Fiumicino, Milan Linate, and Malpensa Terminal 1. In Germany (e.g., BER Berlin), the 100 ml and 1 liter bag rules will mostly still apply. Because rules sometimes vary depending on the terminal, you should check your outbound and return flights separately. Here you can find out where 2 liters are already allowed and how you can pack stress-free.

Hand luggage free of charge or at extra cost? This question is currently preoccupying not only air travelers, but also the courts. The Federation of German Consumer Organizations (vzbv) has issued warnings and filed lawsuits against several airlines for allegedly charging impermissible hand luggage fees. The aim is to ensure that cabin trolleys or small suitcases within standard hand luggage dimensions can be taken on board all airlines at no extra charge in future.
