BE TRAVEL AWARE…..CHECK YOUR PASSPORT’S VALIDITY!

Please make sure that prior to travel you:

• Check that everyone’s passport is valid according to the entry requirements
• Pay attention to children’s passport validity—they expire after five years!

Hand Luggage – liquids & large electrical items.

There are currently no changes to the rules regarding liquids and large electrical items in hand luggage. When preparing for security screening at Exeter Airport, please follow the existing guidelines:  Liquids must be in containers of 100ml or less and placed in a single, transparent, resealable plastic bag (one per passenger), with a capacity of no more than 1 litre and dimensions of approximately 20cm x 20cm (8in x 8in).  All liquids and large electrical items (e.g., laptops) must be removed from hand luggage and presented separately for screening.

We appreciate your cooperation in helping to keep security checks efficient and safe for all passengers.

 Airport security staff will not let anything through that they consider dangerous – even if it’s normally allowed in hand luggage.
