Formalities and assistance

Only drinks purchased after security checks are permitted, as they undergo special security checks to ensure they are safe.

Tell a security officer before going through the scanner. You will asked to show written proof to be allowed through and checked by a security officer.

There are no restrictions on biscuits, sandwiches or chocolate. The only food items not permitted in your hand luggage are items that fall under the "liquids, pastes or gels" category. Pastes and gels refer to all soft, malleable items such as spreads, foie gras, soft cheese (such as Munster, Camembert, etc.), honey, pâté, and so on.

Yes, this is permitted. You'll need to remove it from your hand luggage when going through security and show an officer your prescription. Don't forget it!

The protection of our passengers and colleagues is our number one priority, especially during this epidemic period. We want to ensure that this priority is taken into account at every point on your journey through the airport, and in all the activities carried out by our colleagues. This is why we have put in place exceptional measures in coordination with the national health authorities so that you can travel safely from Bordeaux Airport.
