- Airport states liquids under 100ml can remain in cabin baggage without using a liquid bag.
- Security FAQs state: 'Yes, laptops and large electrical items can now remain in your bags.'
- Inconsistency on the airport's own site: the Security FAQs still say 'Food in sauces or dishes that have a high liquid content will need to be in containers 100ml or less, and go into a transparent, resealable bag.'
- Liquid medicines: evidence of the requirement is needed (GP letter, repeat prescription or prescription labels).
