Security & baggage

Know what you can and can't take with you on the aircraft.

Cabin baggage liquid rules

Prepare for security

Heathrow has completed an upgrade to its security scanners. This change is designed to make the security process simpler and more straightforward for passengers.

When travelling through any Heathrow terminal, you can:

  • Keep liquids in your cabin bag
  • Carry liquids in individual containers of up to 2 litres each
  • Leave large electrical items, such as laptops and tablets, inside your bag

You do not need to remove these items at security.

Flying from another airport

Not all airports use the same security equipment. If you’re flying from another UK or international airport, check the security rules before you travel, as liquid limits and screening requirements may be different.

Prepare for security as normal

Some items are completely banned from the aircraft and others are prohibited in the cabin. Please pack accordingly and leave the banned items at home...

Baggage allowances

Baggage allowances depend on airline policies, fare paid, class of travel, route, aircraft type and government regulations.
