Security Measures for Passengers Departing UK Airports... |
|
|
|
|
On 6th November new security measures came into effect for all passengers departing from UK airports. |
| |
| Liquids |
| |
| Some liquids are allowed once again through airport security check points. There are however, restrictions on the quantity of liquids that can be taken through: |
| |
| Passengers may carry small quantities of liquids, but only within separate containers each of which with a capacity not greater than 100ml. |
| |
| These containers must be brought to the airport contained in a single, transparent, re-sealable plastic bag, which itself must not exceed 1 litre in capacity (approximately 20cms x 20cms). The contents of the plastic bag must fit comfortably and the bag sealed. Each passenger may carry only one such bag of liquids. |
| |
The bag must be presented for examination at the airport security point. |
| |
|
| |
| Liquids that can not be placed inside the re-sealable bag must be packed into the hold luggage and checked in. Liquids of any amount can still be carried in luggage checked into the aircraft hold. |
| |
| Remember that 'Liquids' includes: |
| |
- All drinks, including water, soup, syrups
- Creams, lotions, oils, perfumes, mascara etc
- Sprays and pressurized containers including shaving foam and spray deodorants
- Pastes, including toothpastes
- Gels, including hair and shower gel
- Any other solutions and items of similar consistency
|
| Medicines |
| |
| Essential medicines and baby food may be permitted in larger quantities above the 100ml limit, but will be subject to authentication. |
| |
| Cabin Baggage and Size Allowed |
| |
| Each passenger is restricted to carrying only one item through the airport search point with a maximum size of 56cm x 45cm x 25cm (note: the re-sealable bag must be able to fit within the cabin bag). |
| |
| Pushchairs, walking aids and wheelchairs are permitted but will be screened. |
| |
| Laptops and Electrical Items |
| |
| Laptops and other large electrical items (e.g. a large hairdryer) have to be removed from cabin baggage and screened separately. A laptop bag will be regarded as your one item that is allowed in the cabin. |
| |
| Outsize Items |
| |
All items of luggage which do not fit in the permitted cabin baggage size (maximum length 56 cm, width of 45 cm and depth of 25 cm) must be checked in to be placed in the aircraft hold.
Musical instruments are, as an exception, allowed as a second item of cabin baggage, but will need to be screened and passengers should check with their airlines if special arrangements (e.g. purchasing an extra seat) for these large instruments will be required. |
| |
| Preparing for Your Journey |
| |
| Passengers are asked to bear in mind the following advice to help make their passage through the airport as efficient and comfortable as possible: |
| |
| Before you Arrive at the Airport |
| |
- Limit quantities to what you may need in the cabin for the duration of the flight.
- When possible, put liquids in hold baggage.
- Prepare the re-sealable bag of liquids before arriving at the airport.
- Check any queries you have with your airport or airline before travelling to the airport
|
| At the Security Point |
| |
- Be ready to hand over your re-sealable bag of liquids for screening as you approach the security check point. It will be screened at the same time as your cabin luggage.
- All coats and jackets will have to be removed ready to be screened and metal items will be placed in plastic trays and scanned separately.
- If you are carrying a Laptop or any other large electrical item within your cabin luggage then please have it ready for separate screening as you approach the security check.
|
| Duty Free / Departure Lounge Purchases |
| |
| You may take on board liquid items of any size that are purchased after the security check in the Departure lounge (sometimes referred to as 'Airside'). |
| |
| Most duty free or similar purchases will be given to you in a special sealed bag. Do not open this bag until you have reached your final destination. You should also retain your proof of purchase throughout your journey. You will be required to show it at all transfer points. |
| |
| Please note restrictions apply to duty free purchases made on return journeys where passengers change flights at an EU airport. These are explained in detail in the next section. |
| |
| Returning to or via the UK |
| |
| Travelling from an airport in the EU, Norway, Iceland or Switzerland: |

Humberside Airport and Security ... |
|
|
|
| |
|
Security is high priority at Humberside Airport and airport authorities are in full cooperation with the Government when it comes to security. The Airlines and all other Business Partners connected with the Airport are also always working to ensure the safety of passengers and visitors.
Passengers should pay particular attention to security controls within the airport. All travellers will need to go through rigorous security checks before being allowed to board. Security controls apply to luggage, therefore passengers should take note of the restricted items listed below before packing to avoid any belongings being confiscated.

|
| |
|
Leaving for the airport ... |
|
|
|
|
|
Before you leave for the Airport, check that your flight is on time and confirm the time your Airlines needs you to check-in by.
Security has increased considerably recently, and the length of time that it takes to check-in and move through all of the security checks has increased.
Therefore, it is vitally important to arrive at the Airport in good time before your flight: |
| |
|
|
| |
Type Of Flight |
Check In Time |
|
|
|
| |
Long Haul Flights |
3 HOURS before departure |
|
|
|
| |
European Flights |
2 HOURS before departure |
|
|
|
| |
UK & Northern Ireland Flights |

|
|
| |
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
When at the Airport, be prepared to queue at the check-in desks, security control and your Departure Gate, whilst security checks are carried out on all passengers.
The security precautions carried out are for the safety of all passengers and visitors, so cooperation with searches will be appreciated by the Airport staff.
Ensure you keep your luggage with you at all times and alert Airport staff if you see any suspicious or unattended packages or bags. |
|
| |
| |
|
| |
|
Security Control & Boarding ... |
|
|
|
|
|
On route to the Departure Lounges, passengers will pass through security control where your boarding card and passport will be inspected. Hand luggage will be inspected and passengers will also be screened.
When passing through the security check, passengers will need to put their hand luggage through the x-ray machine. Any other items such as coats, jackets, handbags, cameras, computers, mobile phones, calculators, etc. will also need to pass through the x-ray machine.
Passengers may be asked to put any metallic items such as coins, keys and belt buckles through the x-ray machine, whilst they pass through an archway metal detector.
Passengers with pacemakers should request a hand search. Wheelchair users will also require a hand Search.
Although the metal detector is safe for pregnant women, a hand search can be requested if you have any concerns.
Hand searches can be carried out in a private, screened area for the comfort of passengers.
Passengers are also sometimes chosen for hand searches at security control or towards the Departure Gate. These are just random searches to ensure the safety and security of all passengers. |
|
| |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| |
| Certain routes require passengers to collect their luggage for extra screening before checking-in for a connecting flight. Passengers must ensure that they leave plenty of time between flights, and follow the packing guidelines below. |
