Airport travel warning as four items could lead to delays over Christmas

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Brits planning to travel for the Christmas period have been issued a warning as certain festive items could lead to delays and other issues in airports.

Experts at travel agent eShores explained that you could be stopped by airport security for carrying certain Christmas related items.

Figures show that around 15 percent of passengers get stopped at airports with prohibited items in their bags, something that could ruin your holiday plans.

And as we approach the busiest travel day of the festive period, December 22, eShores have issued a warning to travellers on the lesser-known travel dangers that could ruin your Christmas.They specifically advised against travelling with four items.Although wrapping your presents in advance may seem like a good idea, security staff may be obligated to unwrap these items to inspect their contents, especially if the gifts contain electronics, liquids over 100ml, or sharp objects like children’s toys.It is therefore worth doing your Christmas wrapping when you arrive instead of before going through the airport.This may seem very strange but some travellers pack festive foods to share with their loved ones when they arrive at their destination, such as mince pies, Christmas puddings, or cured meats.
