Belfast City Airport (BHD) Baggage and Security
Baggage Claim at Belfast City BHD Airport
Hold Baggage
Regulations now in force across the UK restrict to 32 kilos the maximum weight for bags which are being loaded into aircraft holds. From the 1st December 2004 onwards, a bag presented at check-in which weighs 32 kilos or more will not be accepted, and the passenger will be asked to reduce the weight of the bag before it can be checked in for travel.
These regulations have been introduced to improve the health and safety conditions for staff involved in the manual handling of baggage. Your co-operation in minimising the weight of your baggage will be very much appreciated.
Airlines differ in the limitations that they put on weight and size of checked luggage. Please check the limitations with your airline prior to travelling.
Cabin Baggage
Department for Transport (DFT) regulations limiting the size of cabin baggage come into force on 5th July 2006. UK Airports and their airline partners have been asked by the DFT to ensure passengers adhere to these limits. These restrictions limit the size of hand luggage allowed on board an aircraft. Airlines differ in the limitations they put on the weight and size of bags which are permitted to be carried in aircraft cabins. Passengers are therefore advised to check the limitations with their airline prior to travelling.
Passengers using check-in desks will have their cabin baggage checked for size.
Passengers using e-ticket machines should check their bag in the gauge adjacent to the machines and internet check-in passengers should also ensure that they comply.

Security at Belfast City BHD Airport
In light of the heightened security measures, the area immediately in front of the airport will now be designated a drop-off only zone. As a result, any persons intending to collect passengers from George Best Belfast City Airport must park in the short stay car park. Parking will be free in this area for the first 10 minutes.
All passengers are advised to check with the airline they are travelling with on dimensions and number of hand baggage items permitted. Passengers are reminded that all items must be x-ray screened. All laptops and large electrical items must be removed from their bag and placed in a tray.
Liquids will be permitted in 100ml containers only.
All liquids shall be presented at the search point for examination. The following liquids are allowed through the search point:
Essential medicines in liquid form sufficient for the trip (e.g. diabetic kit), as long as they are verified as authentic in accordance with Department for Transport guidance.
Baby milk, liquid baby food or special dietary requirement foodstuff in liquid form sufficient and essential for the trip (the contents of each bottle or jar must be tasted by the accompanying passenger).
Drinks can be purchased in the shop after security, and taken on board the aircraft.
NB: The definition of liquids should include gels, pastes, lotions, liquids/solid mixtures and the contents of pressurised containers, toothpaste, hair gel, drinks, soups, syrups, perfume, deodorant, shaving foam, aerosols and lighter fluids.
These liquid containers must be brought to the airport contained in a single, transparent, re-sealable plastic bag (about the size of a small freezer bag), which itself must not exceed one litre in capacity (approximately 20cm x 20cm). The contents of the plastic bag must fit comfortably and the bag sealed. Each passenger may carry only one such bag of liquids. The bag must be presented separately for examination at the airport security point.
*THE RESEALABLE BAGS ARE AVAILABLE FREE OF CHARGE WHEN PASSING THROUGH OUR SECURITY AREA*
Pushchairs, walking aids and wheelchairs are permitted but they must be x-ray screened whenever possible.
Passengers should note that the x-raying of footwear might be required during this period of heightened security measures. We will always require passengers to remove coats for x-ray. To assist the security staff please remove such items on arrival at the screening area as requested.
Liquids that fail a security liquid test will not be allowed past the security checkpoint.
