Security Restrictions At Airports
Monday
6th November:
The Department for Transport has
announced that from Monday 6 November, passengers may now carry a limited
quantity of liquids, i.e. gels, lotions, pastes, liquid cosmetics, foams
and foodstuffs in their hand baggage when going through UK airport security
checkpoints.
To avoid any unnecessary delays to your journey we would advise all passengers
to continue to pack permitted liquid items in their checked in baggage. If you
need to carry liquid items on board, please read the following requirements with
care to ensure you arrive at the airport prepared.
The revised security measures
allow for:
-
All liquids must be in individual containers
not greater than 100ml capacity.
-
All containers must be placed in one
transparent re-sealable bag (such as 'ziplock'
bags or bags with pressable seals), no
larger than 20cm x 20cm (8" x 8") in size
and not larger that one litre in capacity.
The containers must fit comfortably inside
the bag so it can be fastened closed.
-
Only one transparent re-sealable bag per
passenger is allowed. Larger bags or bags
that are non-sealable, such as fold-over
sandwich bags are not allowed.
|
-
The one
transparent re-sealable bag must fit into your
single piece of hand luggage.
-
Each
passenger must remove their clear plastic bag from
their hand baggage and place it in on the conveyor
belt for X-ray screening.
-
Liquids
in containers of more than 100ml capacity must be
packed in your checked in baggage.
Remember
that 'liquids' include;
-
all
drinks, including water, soup and syrups
-
creams,
lotions, oils, perfumes, mascara etc
-
sprays
and pressurized containers including shaving foam
and spray deodorants
-
pastes,
including toothpastes
-
gels,
including hair, shower gel and lip gloss
-
any
other solutions and items of similar consistency.
Essential
medicines and baby food may be permitted in larger
quantities above the 100ml limit, but will be subject to
the authentication that is already currently required.
Cabin baggage size remains unchanged - You are
restricted to carrying only one item (in addition to the
re-sealable liquids bag) through the airport search
point. Cabin baggage must not exceed a maximum length of
56 cm, width of 36 cm and depth of 23 cm including
wheels, handles, side pockets etc.
