Following the Government’s reduction in security levels from critical to severe, passengers are reminded that strict security remains in place at all UK airports. This easing of restrictions is not a return to normal. The revised regulations will continue to have an impact on our airport operations. All passengers will be subject to hand baggage restrictions and are asked to be patient while these additional security measures are in place. Delays are likely, and anyone travelling over the next few days is asked to allow extra time for their journey and to arrive at the airport prepared.
Hand baggage restrictions
Passengers are now permitted to carry ONE item of hand baggage through the airport security search point. The cabin bag should be no bigger than 45cm wide x 35cm long x 16cm deep/high (17.7" wide × 13.7" long × 6.2" deep/high), including wheels, handles, side pockets - equivalent to a small laptop bag or rucksack.
The following items are prohibited from hand (cabin) baggage: Any cosmetics, any toiletries, including toothpaste, hair gel, lotions, perfume, deodorant, shaving foam, aerosols, etc, any liquids, any drinks and any sharp objects.
Further passenger information
Before security: all shops and catering outlets are open to all passengers. Hand baggage is now allowed BUT any liquids and gels must be packed into your hold luggage for check-in. Any other purchases must fit into your hand baggage.
Once through security: all shops and catering outlets are open to all passengers. Passengers can take all items purchased in the departures lounge into the aircraft cabin, unless you are travelling to the USA. All passengers boarding flights to the USA are not permitted to take any liquid or gel items into the aircraft cabin. For further details on the new cabin bag requirements, additional restrictions for passengers travelling to the USA and the latest status of each airport, please select the relevant airport below, where more detailed information will be posted throughout the day:
Heathrow Airport
Gatwick Airport
Stansted Airport
Glasgow Airport
Edinburgh Airport
Aberdeen Airport
Southampton Airport
BAA Airports would like to thank passengers for their co-operation. We are working with our airline partners to minimise any disruption and aim to ensure that passengers pass swiftly and safely through our airports.
