Hand Luggage – liquids & large electrical items.
There are currently no changes to the rules regarding liquids and large electrical items in hand luggage. When preparing for security screening at Norwich Airport, please follow the existing guidelines: Liquids must be in containers of 100ml or less and placed in a single, transparent, resealable plastic bag (one per passenger), with a capacity of no more than 1 litre and dimensions of approximately 20cm x 20cm (8in x 8in). All liquids and large electrical items (e.g., laptops) must be removed from hand luggage and presented separately for screening.
We appreciate your cooperation in helping to keep security checks efficient and safe for all passengers.
For more information, please visit our website here and the official UK Government website here
Airport security staff will not let anything through that they consider dangerous – even if it’s normally allowed in hand luggage.
