London Gatwick to Dublin liquid rules
LGW → DUB · United Kingdom → Ireland
Larger containers may be allowed. Both airports' official guidance allows larger containers for ordinary departures. Check each airport's exceptions (some flights or destinations keep 100ml) before travel.
Rule basis: Both airports have official guidance we can show (see each airport's source and check status).
What to do: Both airports' official guidance allows containers larger than 100ml for ordinary departures — check the exceptions below and confirm before you fly. Exceptions: LGW: Liquids in metal or double-walled containers must be emptied before security. LGW: Applies to departing Gatwick security only — transfer and return airports set their own liquid limits. DUB: Dublin's 2-litre allowance is per container (no limit on the number of containers) and also applies at its connecting and self-transfer security checks. DUB: US preclearance at Dublin adds US immigration, customs and agriculture checks; Dublin's pages don't state a liquids allowance for any extra US screening — confirm with your airline and pack to 100ml if unsure.
