Do You Need to Take Liquids out at Gatwick
You’ll be that person at the front of the queue, unzipping frantic pockets while everyone sighs. A security officer will hand you a tiny plastic bag and watch as you try to fit a full-size deodorant, a bottle of wine, and your emotional-support lip balm into it. Spoiler: it won’t fit. You’ll then have to choose: toss the expensive cosmetics or run back to the check-in desk and shove them into a suitcase you already sent to cargo. Neither option feels good.
A Pro Tip From a Recovering Forgetter
Pack your liquids in an accessible outer pocket before you even leave home. This way, you don’t have to dig through your entire life story to find the bag. And please—for the love of all that is fast—put your laptop and tablet in a separate compartment, too. Gatwick is not the place for a treasure hunt.
