There are restrictions on what items can be carried in your hand luggage when travelling through UK airports. These rules are in place to help keep passengers and airport staff safe and to ensure security screening can be completed efficiently.
Please note: Airport security staff will not let anything through that they consider dangerous - even if it’s normally allowed in hand luggage.
Before you travel, you should check with your airline how many bags you are allowed to bring on board and whether there are any size or weight restrictions for hand luggage, as these can vary between airlines.
The UK Government website provides a comprehensive list of what is typically permitted, and not permitted in hand luggage, please see the full list here.
