New dispensing machines for transparent, re-sealable plastic bags
Published: 07 October 2009
In November 2006, the UK Government established requirements for the carriage of liquids in hand baggage onboard aircraft.

As described in the requirements, authorized liquids must be carried in a single, transparent, re-sealable plastic bag, which holds no more than a litre and measures approximately 20cm x 20cm. Cardiff Airport encourages all passengers preparing for travel to supply and ultimately re-cycle their own bags. Re-sealable plastic bags meeting the Government's criteria are available from a variety of commercial sources and should be acquired before arriving at the airport.
For those still requiring a transparent, re-sealable plastic bag at the airport, Cardiff Airport will make available 4 bags for £1 from new, on-site dispensing machines beginning 2 November 2009. Free bags offered since the establishment of new hand baggage rules in 2006 will no longer be available after this time.
