Advice on going through security
MAN Security & Retail Co…
At Manchester Airport, we
make the safety and security
of customers and staff our
absolute priority
To make your journey as smooth as possible

and avoid unnecessary delays, we ask that
you pay special attention to our security
procedure.

Security checks
For the benefit of all passengers’ security,

departing passengers may be required to be
screened using security (body) scanning
equipment at Manchester Airport.
Our advanced technology scanners are part of

a range of security measures, some of which
may not be obvious. These include a
deliberate element of unpredictability in their
deployment. This means you may experience
a different process than you did on your last
visit to Manchester Airport.
Scanners are the safe*, quick, and simple to

use solution for speeding passengers through
security whilst achieving higher levels of
security detection than has previously been
possible.
Assessment of scan data is conducted using

the latest computer algorithms and no
personal data is saved.
You may opt out of being screened by security

scanner. In this instance, you must either be
screened by an alternative method which
includes at least an enhanced hand search in
private or you will not be permitted to enter
the security restricted area, or, if applicable,
you will be removed from it. An enhanced
hand search in private will take place in a
private room or an area away from the main
search comb. This may involve the loosening
and/or removal of clothing.

*They do not use x-rays.
Security upgrades
Manchester Airport is in the process of

upgrading its security equipment. This next
generation security will transform the
passenger experience by making it smoother,
seamless and stress-free.
However, until Manchester Airport has

upgraded all security screening equipment,
passengers should prepare for security as
normal.
Liquids, aerosols, gels, and pastes, up to

100ml, should be placed in a one litre clear
plastic bag. This bag must be removed from
your cabin baggage, along with any electrical
items, and placed in the security tray.
Hand luggage
It is an offence to carry any of the following
items into the aircraft cabin:
• Acid
• Billiard, snooker or pool cues
• Builder's tools
• Catapults and sling-shots
• Darts
• Explosives
• Gas cartridges, or gas cartridge re-fills
• Hammers, nails or screw-drivers
• Hypodermic syringes (unless supported by
medical evidence)
• Knives with blades more than 6cm
• Lighter fuel
• Lighter top-up fuel (passengers are allowed
to carry one disposable lighter in a clear re-
sealable plastic bag)
• Mercury
• Paint*
• Razor blades
• Scissors - specifically, blades measuring
greater than 6cm in length
• Sporting bats
• Toy or replica guns (plastic or metal)
• Umbrellas - unless foldable
*Artists' acrylic, oil or watercolour paint is

permitted as long as the individual container
contains no more than 100ml. Normal liquid
bag rules then apply, as detailed below.
What you can take through

security in hand luggage
Liquids
If under 100ml and in a transparent re-

sealable plastic bag, passengers are
permitted to take liquids, gels and pastes
through security separately from their
hand baggage.
It is best to prepare your liquid bag - no

larger than 20cm x 20cm and not
exceeding one litre - before arrival at
Manchester Airport. They are however
available if you forget to bring your own,
though there is a limit of one liquid bag
per passenger. The bag must be one litre,
which is around half the size of a
standard A4 piece of paper, and it must
be sealable.
What is a liquid?
Water and other drinks, soups,

syrups
Pastes, including toothpaste
Creams, lotions and oils, including

moisturiser
Perfumes
Make-up, including mascara
Sprays, including sun-tan lotion
Inhalers
Gels, including hair and shower gels
Contents of pressurised containers,

including shaving foam, other foams
and deodorants
Liquid-solid mixtures
Any other item of a similar

consistency
Lipsticks, lip balms and stick

deodorants are not classed as liquids.
Always check in any liquid over 100ml

and if you're unsure whether an item will
be allowed through, please always check
it in with your hold luggage.
Liquids in containers larger than 100ml

generally cannot go through security
even if the container is only part full.
There are some exemptions.
Please note - if you wish to bring your

own containers to hold 100ml or less,
the container must have printed on it
the measurement that the container
can hold. Travel sets of containers that
do not have measurements on them
will not be allowed through security.
Handwritten measurements or stickers
are also not acceptable.
Hand luggage sizes
We would remind all passengers that each

airline has their own policy regarding the
amount of hand baggage allowed on their
aircraft and we strongly recommend that
information regarding this is sought directly
from the Airline before travel. The current
restrictions on the size of hand baggage taken
into the restricted area of the airport remain in
place with no bag larger than 56cm x 45cm x
25cm being permitted.
