Baggage Rules & Liquids

Understanding what you can and cannot pack before you travel will help you to pass through security more quickly. 

How many bags can I take through security, and what are the size restrictions?

Airlines flying from Guernsey and Alderney Airport's have their own restrictions on weight allowance for hold and hand baggage. Some airlines even have specific hand baggage policies for specific routes.

It’s down to you to make sure the number and size of bags you take through security meets your airline’s guidelines. Please check your booking and/or airline's policy before you arrive at the airport. This means you can avoid being refused entry at the boarding gate.
