  • 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 airport security point
 
  • Have your re-sealable bag of liquids for screening as you approach Gatwick Airport security check points. It will be screened at the same time as your cabin luggage.

  • Remove all coats and jackets just before security screening to avoid delays and put all metal items in plastic trays provided for separate scanning.

  • 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.
