Formula and airport security
Hey, we go on holiday in a couple months and wondered how it works when going through airport security with formula? Flying from UK Glasgow. We don’t use pre made, but what do people do? What can you take through?
And what’s it like with pram for baby?
Never seen it in person and these things make me anxious 😂
Thank you!

@Sara thank you for this! That’s really helpful. I assume you just get hot water for the flask once through security from one of the restaurants/coffee shops then? Does the formula need to be in original container or can it be put into the measured out pots? X
No, you can have hot water or formula already prepared inside your flasks. They will ask you about the content. Sterilised water for baby formula or pre made formula is allowed, but the container will be tested on site (they won't open it or touch the content, so don't worry about it). It doesn't need to be in original container.

You can take formula/milk/baby food with you in your cabin luggage as long as it's enough for the journey and not an absurd quantity for the duration of the holiday (in that case, you need to put it in the checked in luggage). Pram needs to be selected when you buy the tickets under the voice "equipment," but that depends on the airline and their website at the moment of the booking. Security has nothing to do with airlines, luggage and boarding issues. You go through security with your pram (that will be searched and checked by staff), but it's up to you to book it for your flight. Source: I'm a security officer 🤗 Hope this helps 🥰
