Save time at security by being prepared and knowing what to expect:

• Take laptops and other large electrical equipment such as ipads and kindles from your bags and place them in trays.

• Small metal items such as keys, coins and mobile phones can be put either in your hand luggage, or in your coat pockets (in the tray). If you keep them in your pocket on your person, you will activate the security equipment delaying your journey.

• Make sure any liquids, aerosols and gels are in containers of 100ml or less, and place them in a single transparent resealable plastic bag that has a capacity of no greater than 1 litre (approximately 20cm x 20cm). The bag must be completely closed and placed in your tray separately to your other baggage.

• If we ask you to remove your shoes, they should go in the tray also.

• Please be ready to go through the security archway when we call you forward.

• Water and other drinks, soups, syrups
