Flybe hand baggage restrictions

poodledoodledoo

Hi everyone!

I'm flying hand baggage only with flybe on Saturday and I've been trying to find some specific information about hand baggage restricted items but with no joy (and I don't really fancy calling the 10p per minute helpline!).
Firstly, are safety razors permitted within hand baggage?
Can prescription skin cream be taken (the tube is greater than 100ml)
Can shower gels/shampoos etc be decanted into small containers or do they need to be in original bottles?
I've looked on flybe's FAQS page but have been unable to find the information I need.

Thanks in anticipation!

Thank you, that's very helpful

I think it depends how you define safety razors. I don't think razors with double edged blades like these would be allowed

These are safety razors as opposed to cut throat razors.

Maybe they accept ones where the blades are moulded into the plastic. If you take cheap disposable razors it wouldn't be the end of the world if they refused to let you take them and you bought a few at your destination.

Plus you can now take small scissors and a penknife see here https://www.gov.uk/hand-luggage-restrictions/personal-items
razors must be fixed cartridge or disposable.

Thanks for the information everyone.
If I decant shampoo etc into little plastic bottles, do I have to label these? Again, I can't find any guidance anywhere.

Does that web site say I can put a wheelchair in my hand luggage?

Cool!

I have all sorts of little bottles/pots with hair conditioner, face moisturiser etc and none of them are labelled.

Don't forget whatever liquids you take in your hand luggage the 100ml containers need to be in a single, transparent, resealable plastic bag, which holds no more than a litre and measures approximately 20cm x 20cm
Contents must fit comfortably inside the bag so it can be sealed
The bag must not be knotted or tied at the top
You are limited to 1 plastic bag per person
You must show the bag at the airport security point

Last time we flew from Gatwick (May 2013) they were providing bags free.

They were at Leeds too a few weeks ago and at Belfast
