Put Creme Eggs in your suitcase because they're a security risk! Heathrow and ... trends now

Brits have been warned that Easter eggs may be deemed a 'security threat' if they are brought through UK airports.

Heathrow and Bristol airports have told holidaymakers they could face egg-stra scrutiny if they try to bring the holiday treats in their luggage.

Both airports added that creme eggs may be confiscated as they could breach the rules on carrying liquid due to their filling.

Bristol Airport even said security staff may remove chocolate eggs from their packaging to be inspected.

This is because staff need to scan the hollow chocolate treats to see if they are being used to store banned items like drugs, and small explosives like grenades.

Heathrow Airport has also advised passengers to store the eggs in cases if they intend to bring them on the plane.

Heathrow Airport's Easter Egg advice 

Don’t pack hollow Easter eggs

If you are considering flying some eggs across the world, then it is advised to take chocolate or crème filled ones, as hollow ones are prone to cracking into a million pieces when transported in baggage

Do take Easter eggs out of their boxes

Nothing is worse than taking up unnecessary space in your bags, especially when packing efficiently! So, if you are going to risk it and take your eggs in your bags, then it’s worth removing them from their packaging and wrapping them up in soft layers. This will save you some space and lower the damage done to your delicious eggs.

Don’t take crème filled eggs through security

You very well may be stopped during security checks if you pack crème filled eggs in your hand luggage as they may be considered a risk under the 100ml liquid rule.

Do consider buying Easter eggs at your destination

Easter is celebrated all over the world, so chances are wherever you’re travelling to will sell an array of chocolatey treats. So, it may be worth saving yourself the hassle of packing and taking your Easter eggs from home.
