Bristol Airport has issued advice for Brits travelling this Easter – in particular if they’re carrying certain seasonal treats with them.
The major hub said those travelling with Easter eggs are advised to keep any chocolate treats in cabin baggage.
You should also make sure they are easily accessible – as they may need to be opened for a quick check.
It comes as the airport is preparing for another busy Easter weekend with 150,000 customers passing through the terminal to meet family and friends or enjoy a spring break.
Customers will also be using the airport for domestic flights to Dublin, Edinburgh and Glasgow among other destinations.
Over the three-week period from when many schools break up on Friday 27 March, the airport expects to see around 725,000 passengers pass through its doors.
The hub will serve many popular Easter break destinations.
Some skiers and snowboarders are still hoping to catch the end of the season with flights to Geneva, Innsbruck and Verona looking busy.

The other top choices are the warmer destinations with customers hoping to soak up the sun in top hotspots – Palma, Alicante, Malaga, Faro and Tenerife.
Amsterdam is also a favourite this Easter due to its worldwide connections and short flight time.
It’s not the first time passengers have been advised on bringing food through airport.
In 2024, Heathrow and Bristol airports told holidaymakers they could face extra 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 has shared more tips so customers can prepare and enjoy a smoother journey – as well as the Easter egg advice.
Firstly, liquids up to two litres can now be carried through in hand luggage along with all electronics, which should remain inside bags while passing through security.
It is recommended you check before flying back, as the liquid limit still varies from airport to airport.

You should also empty your pockets and place loose items in hand luggage, with metal water bottles emptied before entering security.
Coats, hats and belts should be placed in the tray provided with a hand luggage bag on top. Customers may still be asked to take off shoes.
Also, travel with only essential items in your hand baggage and pushchairs to enable easy transit through security.
Pushchairs and car seats that have not been checked in, along with wheelchairs and walking aids, will be searched, so customers should allow more time for this.
Children who are 1 metre tall and above will need to use the security scanner. If they are unable to hold the position required or are under 1 metre tall, then they will be hand searched.
