Below is a guide to the requirements that are now in place as well as advice to help passengers pass through the security check as quickly as possible.

Passenger requirements

Liquids

Some liquids are allowed once again through airport security check points. There are however, restrictions on the quantity of liquids that can be taken through:

Passengers may carry small quantities of liquids, but only within separate containers each of which with a capacity not greater than 100ml.

These containers must be brought to the airport contained in a single, transparent, re-sealable plastic bag, which itself must not exceed 1 litre in capacity (approximately 20cm x 20cm). The contents of the plastic bag must fit comfortably and the bag sealed. Each passenger may carry only one such bag of liquids.

The bag must be presented for examination at the airport security point.

Liquids that can not be placed inside the re-sealable bag must be packed into the hold luggage and checked in. Liquids of any amount can still be carried in luggage checked into the aircraft hold.

Remember that 'Liquids' includes:

• All drinks, including water, soup, syrups
• Creams, lotions, oils, perfumes, mascara etc
• Sprays and pressurized containers including shaving foam and spray deodorants
• Pastes, including toothpastes
• Gels, including hair and shower gel
• Any other solutions and items of similar consistency

Medicines

Essential medicines and baby food may be permitted in larger quantities above the 100ml limit, but will be subject to authentication.

Cabin baggage and size allowed

Each passenger is restricted to carrying only one item through the airport search point with a maximum size of 56cm x 45cm x 25cm (note: the re-sealable bag must be able to fit within the cabin bag).

Pushchairs, walking aids and wheelchairs are permitted but will be screened.

Laptops / electrical items
Laptops and other large electrical items (e.g. a large hairdryer) have to be removed from cabin baggage and screened separately. A laptop bag will be regarded as your one item that is allowed in the cabin.

Outsize items
All items of luggage which do not fit in the permitted cabin baggage size (maximum length 56 cm, width of 45 cm and depth of 25 cm) must be checked in to be placed in the aircraft hold. Musical instruments are, as an exception, allowed as a second item of cabin baggage, but will need to be screened and passengers should check with their airlines if special arrangements (e.g. purchasing an extra seat) for these large instruments will be required.

Presents in Baggage
Wrapped presents are not exempt from the current aviation security measures. Passengers' hold and cabin baggage are subject to searching and screening measures by airport security staff when flying from Grenada
. For this purpose, it is possible that passengers may be asked to unwrap any presents by security staff at the airport before their journey. Therefore, passengers should travel with any presents unwrapped. Presents in liquid form (eg. perfume, toiletries or alcohol) can be carried in cabin baggage, but this is subject to the current measures. It would therefore be advisable to place such presents - unwrapped - in hold baggage. Liquids of any amount can still be stored in hold baggage.
Furthermore, under the current security measures all passengers can only take one piece of cabin baggage each through the security point and it must fit into a bag measuring 56cm x 45cm x 25cm. So, any presents being carried as cabin baggage must be carried within this one bag and not as separate items.

Preparing for your journey

Passengers are asked to bear in mind the following advice to help make their passage through the airport as efficient and comfortable as possible:

Before you arrive at the airport
Limit quantities to what you may need in the cabin for the duration of the flight.
When possible, put liquids in hold baggage.
Prepare the re-sealable bag of liquids before arriving at the airport.
Check any queries you have with your airport or airline before travelling to the airport

At the security point
Be ready to hand over your re-sealable bag of liquids for screening as you approach the security check point. It will be screened at the same time as your cabin luggage.
All coats and jackets will have to be removed ready to be screened and metal items will be placed in plastic trays and scanned separately.
If you are carrying a Laptop or any other large electrical item within your cabin luggage then please have it ready for separate screening as you approach the security check.

Duty free / departure lounge purchases
You may take on board liquid items of any size that are purchased after the security check in the Departure lounge (sometimes referred to as 'Airside').
Most duty free or similar purchases will be given to you in a special sealed bag. Do not open this bag until you have reached your final destination. You should also retain your proof of purchase throughout your journey. You will be required to show it at all transfer points.
