It may also be worth letting your little ones know that their items will have to be scanned too. Hearing that their favourite toy is going on an adventure ahead of time may help when it comes parting ways at the scanner.
Children will also have to walk through the metal detector individually although babies can be carried. We have special rooms designed for changing babies both before and after security in the terminal.
Look out for the baby-changing icon on our terminal map. Airlines usually have a child baggage allowance or policy on prams which means you can take one up to the departure gate, but only if it meets their requirements. This may mean that only a totally collapsible pushchair is allowed — make sure to check with your airline before flying. After this point you would need a latter from your GP or midwife.
Each airline has their own policy on the length of pregnancy they will permit access to, so make sure to check with them directly. Airport security scanners omit a low frequency electromagnetic field which is safe for pregnant women to use. If you are travelling with a child that has an infectious disease such as mumps, whooping cough, measles or chicken pox, the airline may require you to produce a medical declaration stating that they are fit to fly.
An adult is classed by airlines as any passenger aged 16 or older. The policies for any minor under the age of 16 travelling alone without a parent vary by airline and destination. We recommend checking with your airline direct for their policy. Many airlines also offer an Escort Service to support children under the age of 16 when travelling and have limited availability for minor passengers.
In circumstances where a child is accompanied by a non-parent or an adult with a different surname a Child Arrangement Order may be required to prove you have a right to take the child abroad.

In this article When is it safe to take my baby on a plane? Does my baby need a passport? What if my baby doesn't share my surname? Will my baby need a separate ticket? Where will my baby sit? Can my baby have her own seat?
Does my baby get a baggage allowance? What facilities do airlines have for babies? The general rule about hand luggage in these days of heightened airline security is: take as little as possible. Drinks, snacks, wipes, nappies are all essential. So what are the rules and how can you make sure you comply if you are planning a trip by plane?
Any liquid, for example baby milk or sterilised water, must be carried in small containers of no more than ml, inside a small, see-through plastic bag. You may be required to taste liquids in front of security staff at the airport.
In order to do this, you could be asked to snip open any cardboard packet of pre-prepared baby milk or juice. You might therefore find it more convenient to carry formula milk as powder or put drinks in plastic bottles.
