Security Information
Heathrow Airport Security Information
Getting around Heathrow Airport can be a challenge and even more so with the current security arrangements. Although measures change regularly, below is a broad overview of what to expect at the world’s busiest airport.
Checks and Inspections
For your safety, you are likely to experience more security checks than you may previously encountered. Please be prepared for queues and possible checks and factor this into your journey time. You must keep your baggage with you at all times and alert any member of airport staff to unattended package. Never look after baggage belonging to other people or carry anything onto the aircraft for someone else.
Your boarding card will be inspected by airport security before you enter the departure lounge. You will be required to go through security search, where your hand baggage (including handbags cameras, mobile phones, computers and calculators, etc.) will be passed through an x-ray machine and may also be searched by hand. The archway metal detector, which all passengers pass through, is safe for pregnant women and passengers with heart pacemakers. However, if you have any concerns you can request a hand search.
Some passengers and/or flights may be subject to specific or additional security measures.
Check with your airline if you are concerned about what you can carry in your hand luggage, however, as a general rule, the most frequently confiscated items are pen-knives, scissors and multi-tools. If you want to travel with any such items, put them in your hold luggage.
