Stansted still has the 100 ml limit on each container, but liquids and electrical items, including laptops and tablets, can stay in your bag at security.

The 100 ml limit applies in every lane, and no move to 2 litres had been announced as of 20 October 2026. Stansted doesn't say whether you still need a clear bag, so bring one to be safe.

Medicines, baby food and duty-free in sealed bags are exempt from the 100 ml limit. Rules vary by airport, so check your return and connecting airports too.
