From midnight tonight, travellers can now carry up to two litres of liquids and gels in their hand luggage. The old 100ml rule and clear plastic bag requirement are gone.
Liquids, gels, and electronic devices can also stay inside your bags when going through scanners. This is expected to make security checks faster and less stressful.
The upgrade comes after the rollout of 30 new C3 scanners across both terminals. These scanners use CT-style 3D imaging, similar to hospital technology, giving security staff a much clearer picture of what’s inside your bag.
Some rules remain in place. Belts, jackets, hoodies, and shoes that go over the ankle still need to be removed. Passengers must also empty pockets of phones, wallets, and keys.
This makes Dublin Airport one of the first in Europe to fully adopt the new technology, months ahead of the EU’s December 2025 deadline.
Cork Airport will be next, with C3 scanners set to be installed in the coming months.
