What this means at Isle of Man Airport
- Airport states: liquids, gels and aerosols are only allowed in individual containers of 100 ml.
- One transparent resealable bag of no more than 20 x 20 cm, presented separately. The page also mentions a "litre bag" in its lighter section, so treat the exact bag size as slightly uncertain.
- Laptops and large electricals bigger than A5 must come out and be screened separately. The page does not say liquids can stay in the bag.
- Essential medicines over 100 ml are allowed with authentication and documentation from a medical professional. Liquid baby food or sterilised water for the journey is allowed, and the adult may be asked to taste it.
- Liquids bought beyond security are screened separately; duty free is not mentioned. The page carries no update date, and a December 2025 airport travel guide gives the same 100 ml rule.
