The airports sell them now, they do not hand them out for free anymore.
Better bring your own.
Just buy a pack, every supermarket in England stocks them, that way you are sure that you have one when you need it.

Answer 2

I've never been to Birmingham International Airport, but many major airports will have a table right before you go through security with a bunch of the plastic bags. If they don't have them out, I'm sure you could ask someone who works there for one.

Answer 3

They Sure Do Just Before You go Through Security In Edinburgh Airport There On the Right hand Side of The Trays You would Put you Belt watch in Ect Hope this helps :-)

Answer 4

Generally they are available, but if you are in a hurry or they have temporarily run-out, then that puts you in the awkward position of having nothing to put your liquids in! If you have a bag, and it is no larger than 20cm x 20cm, I'd just take it with you.

Answer 5

I have only seen them for sale in airports - something like £1 per bag. Take your own.

Answer 6

You should get your own, it will save time. Many airports no longer distribute bags as, after all this time, people should be able to sort it out for themselves.
