Hi

Does anyone know if plastic bags are provided at Stansted airport still for liquids in hand luggage.

It doesn't say on their website...

Cheers

    From what I recall (a few months ago) you could get the plastic bags free at Stansted Airport.

    East Midlands Airport has a vending machine that you buy the bags in pairs for I think either 50p or £1 for 2.

    Every time I've been to Stansted over the last couple of years they have been provided free of charge. My last flight from there was about 2 months ago.

    Bristol is £1 or £2 (can't remember which) for 4 bags. Vending machine is located in security queue.
  • They are available from Stansted for free, I bought myslef a box of 7.5"x7.5" just in case but will use the stansted ones when I can.

    They are apparantly custom made just for BAA

    I have never figured why things need to be put in a plastc bag?

    Surely it makes no difference if they are loose in the tray.

    They gave up using them at Alicante ages ago.
