Liquids, foods and wet wipes Containers of no more than 100ml are allowed, and all liquids must be in a transparent, resealable bag no larger than 20cmx20cm in size. The bag must be sealed and shown at security. There's a limit on one bag per person.

Yes, you can absolutely take antibacterial wipes on a plane in the UK in 2026, as they are not classified as "liquids." Unlike hand sanitizer gels or liquid sprays, wipes are considered a solid item because the liquid is absorbed into the fabric. This means they do not need to be placed in your 1-liter clear liquids bag and can be kept in your personal item or carry-on without restriction. However, a grounded environmental update for 2026: the UK government has begun implementing a ban on wet wipes containing plastic to reduce microplastic pollution. While you can still fly with them, you may find that the wipes sold in UK shops are now made from cellulose or other biodegradable materials. Carrying a pack of wipes is a supportive peer tip for travelers who like to sanitize their tray table, armrests, and seatbelt buckle upon boarding, especially during the busy summer or winter "flu seasons" when cabin hygiene is a top priority for many.
