Southampton Airport hand luggage liquids rules

At Southampton Airport each liquid container can hold up to 100 ml, with no clear plastic bag and no limit on how many, and laptops can stay in your bag.

Largest container

100 ml per item

Clear bag needed

Not stated

Liquids stay in bag

Yes

Laptops stay in bag

Yes

Every lane

Yes, all lanes

Containers over 100 ml are not allowed, even part full. Baby food and milk for an infant, and essential medicines over 100 ml, can go through: bring proof such as a prescription or doctor's note, and expect extra screening. The airport reported its new scanners fully operational on 23 May 2025. Its customer-service page still mentions a clear resealable bag: that is out of date, because the security and FAQ pages say none is needed.

Medicines, baby food and duty-free in sealed bags are exempt from the 100 ml limit. Rules vary by airport, so check your return and connecting airports too.
