    Can you take multiple bottles of the same thing? I can't find any info on this anywhere.

    I want to take two or three 100ml bottles of orange squash concentrate (decanted from a larger bottle) in my resealable plastic bag, along with my toiletries. I'm not interested in opinions on whether this is a good idea (but feel free to share them if you must!), but whether it's within the rules? Thanks in advance.

    Yes, of course you can.

    You can take a maximum of ten bottles in your plastic bag, and each bottle must be 100 ml or smaller. If you take three bottles of orange squash then you may only take seven or fewer items of toiletries.

    If you take several 100ml bottles the limitation may be what you can fit into the plastic bag - probably less than the 10 items allowed.

    Given the hassle of buying all those 100ml containers (or washing mini-shampoo bottles so the juice doesn't taste of head n shoulders) decanting vimto or concentrate, topping up empty bigger bottles with water....

    mightn't you be better off busting the budget and blowing a couple of quid on an orange squash in weatherspoons airside...?

    That's a sensible idea but won't really work if you're traveling with hand luggage only. ;)

    We take empty water bottles through security, then fill them up at the free water fountains for the flight, as once you are past security there's no problem, you can also buy larger bottles in the secure shopping area, Boots meal deals work out well at airports also for this

    A friend did this with suntan lotion. They did take it away to test it( or so they said), but did return them unharmed.
