Airport Procedures
To save you time and make your journey more enjoyable, please follow our advice to prepare for security:
- Have travel documents ready for inspection
- Comply with your airline’s guidelines on cabin baggage allowance.
- Have all liquid, gel or cream toiletries and cosmetics (in containers of 100ml or less each) in a transparent re-sealable plastic bag ready for security staff to x-ray separately.
- Pack all food or powders in your hold baggage where possible. Although these items are permitted in hand luggage, they can obstruct images on the x-ray machine, or may be mistaken for suspicious items - so putting them in the hold will help reduce the need for additional checks.
- Remove jackets and coats, as these will be screened separately through the x-ray scanner.
- Remove laptop computers, tablets (iPads etc), Kindles/e-readers and other large electronic devices from your cabin baggage to be screened separately.
- Be prepared to remove your shoes and belt if instructed to do so.
- Advise the on-duty security officer if you have a metal limb or implant. Where possible, travel with a confirmation note from your GP.
Liquid Restriction:
You are only allowed to take small quantities of liquid in your cabin baggage:
- These liquids must be in individual containers, a maximum capacity 100ml each.
- These liquids must be packed in one transparent, re-sealable plastic bag (20cm x 20cm).
- Each passenger may only carry one such bag.
