Security Screening
All international passengers are required to go through two security screening points, Domestic Security screening and International Security screening.
Domestic Screening

- You can leave your powders, liquids and gels in your carry on bag at this time.
- Avoid carrying or wearing metal items that may trigger metal detector alarms (eg belts, large buttons, body piercings, and steel toe/capped shoes).
- You may be asked to remove your shoes.
International Screening
- At the International screening point you’ll proceed through Border Agency for clearance then to the security screening point. You may also be randomly selected for a frisk search.
- You will need to show your passport, boarding pass and PLAGs - powders, liquids, aerosols and gels. All other items can remain in your carry on bag
