If you are travelling during the school holidays, our staff will hand out free colouring books and games to your little ones, to help keep them entertained while they wait for their flight, and on board.

Carry-on baggage items

When you go through security, you will be allowed to take the following items onto the plane:

• Nappies
• Food for your baby, as much as required for the duration of the trip (milk, water bottle, small jars of baby food for the outward and return journeys as well as during your stay);
• Be careful when transporting frozen milk, which must be placed in the hold
• Pushchairs must be checked in and labelled at the check-in kiosks by staff from your airline, before you go through security. Please contact your airline to find out more about the arrangements for travelling with pushchairs, and the maximum sizes.

About pushchairs

You can travel with a pushchair with most airlines, and this service is usually free of charge. Depending on the model, size and weight, your pushchair will either be treated as a carry-on item or checked into the hold.

Travelling with your pushchair:

Pushchairs must be checked in and labelled in the check-in zone by staff from your airline. 

To make your time in the terminal easier, some airlines let you keep your pushchair with you through to boarding, under certain conditions. Otherwise, pushchairs will be placed directly in the hold, like any other baggage item.

Please contact your airline to find out the specific arrangements for pushchairs.

Self-service pushchairs in the boarding area:

As soon as you come through security, you will find self-service pushchairs available in the boarding area - they can be used right up to the boarding gates.
