Bristol Airport: New rules make travelling to Spain much easier and you can get there for just £22

Travelling to Spain will soon become much easier for tourists as the country rolls out new rules.

Spanish airport authority Aena has confirmed that they are easing regulations around liquids in bags. New 3D scanners mean your toiletries, as well as your electronic devices, can stay in your bag rather than be put into trays.

The new technology will be rolled out next year and will make travelling to the likes of Madrid, Ibiza and other sunny destinations a lot easier.

Tomas Melgar, Palma Airport's director, previously told the Sun said: "The time has come to carry out a comprehensive upgrade of the facilities as they have been the same for more than 25 years.

"The security filters will be equipped with more modern technology, and this will create positive results in terms of safety and quality, such as passengers not having to remove their hand luggage, so no liquids or computers."

UK airports are also following suit, with rules on liquids and items such as laptops in airport hand luggage set to be scrapped in 2024.

Our government has set a deadline of June 2024 for UK airports to install the new 3D scanners.

Flights directly from Bristol Airport are currently selling for around £22 to Madrid. Or a plane to Barcelona will set you back around £24. While people hoping to travel to Spain's top party destination, Ibiza, will have to fork out £25 for a single fare this March.

Spain is one of the most popular destinations for Brits to go on holiday. Boasting sizzling summer sun and stunning beaches, millions of UK citizens travel to the country every year.
