Security restrictions on aircraft cabin hand baggage
New security restrictions on hand luggage are now in place.
Passengers are now permitted to carry small amounts of liquids through security search at the Airport, in line with Department for Transport guidelines.
All liquid substances must be contained within 1 clear re-sealable plastic bag no larger than 8″ by 7.5″ (20cm by 18cm), a 1 litre bag; this bag must be presented separately at the X-ray machine and must be sealed.
Each liquid, gel, paste etc. container must not exceed 100ml; the contents must fit comfortably within the 1 litre bag.
Hand luggage size remains restricted (passengers should check with the airline) and only 1 item is permitted with room to include to the clear plastic ‘liquids’ bag.
Musical instruments in a carry case can be taken through as an extra item.
Laptops must also be removed from hand luggage before security screening and presented separately.
