Only taking hand luggage on the plane - what about my contact lens solution?!

Hello

Buy a bottle once you pass security, anything purchased on the other side is ok

Where are you going? Is is somewhere that doesn't sell contact lens solution?

NEH

You won't be abel to hide it in your luggage, the scans will pick it up...I left a little bottle of wine in my hand luggage by accident and they found it very easily....

I would second buying it the other side or if it is very specialist then speak to your optician...

As far as keeping it sterile goes, you could easily sterilise the bottle you are going to decant it into. Either that or buy some when you get airside in Boots, you'll then be able to take this on board because it was bought airside and then if you get stopped trying to bring it back into the country you can just throw it away as you'll have some when you get home. Obviously this would be a waste if you have to get trid of it before flying home but in my experience, i've never been stopped taking liquids through security flying home. The last time i flew was from Tunisia to Manchester, i was carrying a litre bottle of water when i went through security and no one batted an eye.

Thats because you are allowed to carry liquids in hand luggage from Tunisia.

This is exactly my point, if the OP buys a bottle of solution airside on the way out of the UK, depending on the country they are flying back from, they should have no problem bringing it home.

This reminds me of a few years back i was on a flight from Manchester to Amsterdam and then connecting to Atlanta and then onward to Sacramento.
On the MAN - AMS flight, which was about 10 minutes delayed some woman was making a huge scene that she would miss her connection to Venice. She wanted everyone to start moving about air traffic for her flight to Venice.

Its eye solution on a smidgen of a flight, i mean how long is the flight to Tunisia? 20 minutes or something.

Get a grip.

I get my lenses from specsavers and they sell a 100ml bottle, think it's in a pack with a lense case aswell, this year I bought daily lenses from daysoft, was around £10 for 2 packs of 30, and it was great for holidays, no need to clean lenses each night, just bin them each night and put in new ones each morning, I usually find my 'proper' lenses and suncream, sand, etc don't seem to mix too well so the dailies were ideal, was also told by optican that dailies can be worn whilst swimming as you are throwing them away each night.

Can you squirt some out so that there's only 100ml left in? You wont need that much over a few days, will you?

I had this with a fruit shoot. They are about 125ml or something and my daughter had drunk at least half, security wouldn't let it pass. Its all a scam to be fair. Have you ever noticed how a bottle of Evian is £1 before security but £1.50 after.

The scam rolls on.

I think you're probably right.
