Departure Lounge Gatwick

[smurfchops]

Are we allowed to take our sandwiches through to the departure lounge or do we have to buy from their outlets ?

no, take them through. The only thing you can't take through (apart from Uzis etc) are bottles with more than 100ml in them.

No liquids are allowed, but sandwiches are fine.

It's OK to take liquids on aircraft - provided you bought them airside. You just can't take them through security. For instance, you can buy a bottle of water airside and take that on the plane. The size doesn't matter.

I always take an empty plastic 1 litre sports water bottle through security. When I get airside I then ask one of the outlets if they'll fill it with cold water for me and they are all happy to do that, especially if I'm buying a couple of teas. I've then got water to drink on the plane.

[boxtops]

Yes, you can.

Thanks all, I do prefer my own sandwiches to those at outlets ... they taste much better, I know who made them (hubbie) and save my holiday money !!
