For years, passengers at Krakow Airport faced the same ritual. Small bottles packed in transparent bags. Electronics taken out at checkpoints. Long queues and the constant fear of leaving something behind. This chapter is now closed. On September 3, 2025, Krakow Airport became the first in Poland to scrap the 100 ml liquid restriction. From now on, travelers can carry up to 2 liters of liquids in their hand luggage, without worrying about small containers.

Technology That Changes Your Journey

The change was made possible thanks to the installation of ten new 3D CT scanners. These advanced machines create a detailed digital image of the contents of each bag. Security officers no longer need passengers to unpack electronics, cosmetics, or toiletries.

For travelers, this means less stress, fewer delays, and a smoother start to every journey. The security process is now estimated to be 30 percent faster. Even during peak hours, most passengers pass through control in under 10 minutes.

What It Means for Passengers

The end of the 100 ml rule changes the travel experience in a very practical way. Families no longer have to pack countless travel-sized liquids. Business travelers save time by leaving laptops inside their bags. Older passengers avoid the hassle of unpacking and repacking at checkpoints.

In short, security checks are finally catching up with the needs of modern travelers:).
