SECURITY restrictions are still very much in place at UK airports
readers are reminded. But what you can carry varies depending on
whether you are flying to the USA or the rest of the world. The rules
are for the aircraft which means that inbound the same restrictions
are likely to be found. Your hand luggage cannot be larger than
(17.7" wide ” 13.7" long ” 6.2" deep/high and liquids, cosmetics,
toiletries, gels and plastics, lighters and sharp items are on the
banned list. However you can purchase from shops and restaurants
after the search. If you are bound for the USA there is further
boarding security. No toiletries or cosmetics purchased in the
departure lounge will be allowed into the aircraft cabin and the same
goes for drinks or liquid items.
