Security screening at Keflavík Airport
Passengers may buy any liquids or other goods in the departure lounge. In the case of direct flights, liquids purchased in the departure lounge may be carried in cabin baggage. If you’re taking a connecting flight, the liquid and receipt are placed in a sealed bag, which must not be opened until arrival at the final destination. If your luggage has not been checked in for the entire journey, it is best to pack the liquid in your checked-in luggage for the next flight.
Please note that before you arrive at security screening there is an area where you can dispose of liquids and other forbidden items.
If any prohibited items or other items that the passenger is not permitted to carry are found in hand baggage, the passenger is given the option to check in the items as hold (checked-in) luggage, provided that the items are permitted in hold luggage.
Keflavik Airport does not have storage facilities for prohibited items.
