Sharing is caring!

Anything that helps make flying with a baby easier, or passing through security a breeze is a good idea in my book! Many parents have been asking how to pre-order baby milk and other supplies or treats from Boots in airports, and how this service works. Here is the step by step procedure. Below you will also find further information on the UK airports offering this service and examples of what you can order. Boots Airport Click and Collect is back after a temporary stop due to Covid!

WHAT CAN I ORDER FROM BOOTS AT THE AIRPORT?

You can order almost anything from the Boots website, not just baby milk or food! This includes all your baby essentials and suntan lotion etc for collection after all security checkpoints. It must meet baggage and security requirements though. (See ‘How Much Can I Order” for more information on this.)

This will hopefully save you some time in the security queue as you will have less liquids to be checked and perhaps save a little room in your suitcase too. Win, win!

How much can I order?

• Be aware that if you will be in transit at some point of your journey, you may be checked for liquids over 100ml again.  With baby food and milk you will be fine but if you ordered a large suntan lotion bottle, you may have to give that up.
• With baby milk, you can pre-order up to 2 tubs or 56 ready-to-drink cartons of baby milk.
•  You are allowed ONE standard airport shopping bag on to your flight in addition to your hand luggage. e.g You can have hand luggage + 1 Boots bag or hand luggage + a standard bag from another airport store.
