Belfast International Airport liquids and security rules

What this means at Belfast International Airport

• Airport states: 'The liquid is in a container that is 100ml or less.'
• Airport states: 'There is only ONE transparent 1 litre bag per passenger' and 'The transparent 1 litre bag must be sealed.'
• Airport states liquids must be 'presented separately at the x-ray point'.
• Airport states: 'Laptops, tablets or electronic devices need to be taken out of your hand luggage and placed in a tray.'
• Security FAQs confirm: 'Restrictions are still in place regarding the carrying of liquids, gels and pastes in your hand luggage.'
• Baby milk in containers over 100ml that is essential for the journey can be carried but must be presented separately to security staff to be individually verified.
• Baby milk products up to 100ml must be placed in a clear resealable plastic bag no greater than 1 litre.
• Body scanners use millimetre wave technology and do not produce an image of the person scanned.
• No new/CT/C3 scanner rollout is claimed anywhere on the airport's security pages.
• Note: the airport's own website contradicts itself. A legacy security page still describes the old routine (one sealed 1-litre clear bag presented separately, laptops out into a tray), while its current guidance says liquids under 100 ml and electronics stay in the bag. Allow extra time and be ready for either.
