Aberdeen Airport Security Arrangements / Check-in

15,000 banned items are being confiscated every day from passengers, at Heathrow, Stansted and Gatwick airports.The whole system has slowed down because people are still carrying sharp objects in their hand luggage.

• If you have a ticket, the hold allowance will be printed on the ticket. Ticket wallets also contain general information about carry on bags.
