Airport Security Hand Luggage Restrictions

May 3rd, 2009 | Filed under Air Travel.

The following is a guide to the security requirements for all passengers departing from UK airports and also provides some advice that will help passengers pass through the security search point as quickly as possible.

Key points to remember:

  • The maximum size for items of hand luggage is 56cm x 45cm x 25cm per bag. However, some airlines apply their own policies governing the number of items of hand baggage which may be taken in to the aircraft cabin.
  • Before departing for the airport it is best to check with your airline on the cabin baggage arrangements or restrictions for your particular journey.
  • Where possible, put all liquid items in your hold baggage. This includes water and other drinks, creams, sprays, pastes and gels.
  • Liquids, gels and aerosols are only allowed in individual containers of 100ml or less. All containers must fit easily into one, transparent, re-sealable bag no larger than 20cm x 20cm (eg a freezer bag).
