What Can You Take in Your Hand Luggage Through UK Airport Security?
Airport security rules should be simple: don’t take anything dangerous onto a plane. In reality, working out exactly what you can put in your hand luggage can be surprisingly confusing.
Can you take a 500ml bottle of water through security? What about a power bank, razor, scissors, food or a cigarette lighter? And why can you now take two litres of liquid through security at some UK airports while others
still restrict you to 100ml containers?
The rules have become particularly confusing as UK airports upgrade their security scanners. Some airports have relaxed the traditional 100ml liquids restriction, while others still require passengers to follow it.
In this guide, we explain what you can and cannot take through UK airport security, including the latest rules for liquids, food, batteries, vapes and other everyday items – plus some of our tips for getting through security with the minimum of fuss.
These are the rules for departing from UK airports. Your airline may impose additional restrictions, and airports overseas can have different security rules, so remember to check the requirements for your return journey too
