Can I take photo frames through security

sandy88

Can I take a photo frame and two china mugs in hand luggage through gatwick security, I have looked on their site and cannot see anything about these objects. Both of these are birthday presents, thanks.

Yes you can, nothing dangerous about them. .

Thanks, I was not sure as there is glass in the frame.

Is there anything on the "not allowed to take with you" list on either Gatwick or the airlines page.

I have checked gatwick security site and airline site and there is nothing on it about glass, in any form.Just the usual things you are not allowed.

All airports have a baggage restriction on anything that can be used as a weapon, and although this could cover glass from a picture frame, I think that it would need an extremely difficult or awkward security person to want to take it from you for this reason.

Thanks for your reply.

I've had security abroad being funny about snow globes in hand luggage, only let me through after a lot of pleading. Not sure if it was to do with glass or liquid though, it was a few years ago!
