    No difference.

    Apart from the fact they've just refused OH plastic bag at Bristol security.

    This is the plastic bag from Heathrow security !!!!
    (Plastic bags are £1 in Bristol - mmmm)

    I am flying from Bristol to Newcastle. Does that make a difference?

    They sell hairspray and wax in Newcastle!

    Some airports charge £1 for these bags.

    Get your currency from Ramsdens (rates are good), and you get a free bag. :cool:

    I just use 'ziplock' bags from Tesco....have never had a problem yet. But then usually all i have in them is one lip salve and a small hand cream.

    Nearly came unstuck once, when i went into airport's Boots for some moisturiser in a 250ml tube, before realising that i was't airside yet....remembered just in time!

    i had a bag with "east midlands airport" on it refused at manchester last year,which i believe are owned buy the same company.
    if you drop on a security guy in a mood there's no reasoning with them, he just said it was too big despite me showing him the ema logo!
    i had 8 100ml bottles in it, the ones they give you are smaller than the maximum size allowed so i had to throw a couple of bottles.
    at the other end when putting stuff back in i commented on the bag to another security and she said that bag was fine and couldn't understand why it'd been pulled, but too late as he'd already thrown 2 bottles.
