Since July 2007 there have been changes to the security requirements for all passengers departing from UK airports.

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:

• Each passenger is restricted to carrying only one item of cabin baggage through the airport search point with a maximum size of 56cm x 45cm x 25cm. Other bags, such as handbags, may be carried within the single item of cabin baggage.
• 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. All containers must fit comfortably in one, transparent, re-sealable bag no larger than 20cm x 20cm (eg a freezer bag).

A detailed account of requirements and advice for preparation can be found by visiting the department for Transport website: www.dft.gov.uk
