Dublin Airport advises passengers not to gift wrap presents

DUBLIN Airport is asking passengers not to gift wrap Christmas presents if they are carrying them in hand luggage at the security screening area this holiday season.

Dublin Airport spokesperson Siobhán O’Donnell said: “Many passengers take a lot of time to carefully wrap Christmas gifts for family and friends overseas. We would ask them not to wrap these gifts, otherwise they may be disappointed if they are requested to open them at the passenger security screening area.”

She added: “We would also like to remind passengers that the EU liquid restriction regulation is still in place. Passengers should pack gifts in bottles or containers measuring more than 100ml into their checked in luggage.”

The security measures are in place to improve passenger safety at the airport and ensure compliance with EU and Irish aviation security regulations.
