Airport bosses are advising anyone due to travel to leave plenty of time to check in hold luggage and pass through security.

Queues are possible at peak times.

Officials are also reminding travellers that the restriction on carrying liquids of more than 100ml remains in place, but people no longer need to remove them from their hand luggage at the scanners.

Additionally, people hoping to bring home edible souvenirs of their trip away are reminded there is currently a government ban on bringing meat and diary products from the EU for personal use.
