People and liquids in hand luggage

Sooler

It's a farce.

200 ml bottle of liquid not allowed

2 x 100 ml bottles of liquid + 200 ml empty bottle allowed :huh:

The Department for Transport does not prohibit the carriage of empty water bottles through security in hand luggage.

And there's nothing to stop anyone from buying a bottle after Security & emptying it for their own purposes.

MSE say you can take an empty drinks bottle through security.

Three people I know had them confiscated from different airports. All of them were actual drinks bottles, not empty bottles that originally sold with water or soft drinks.

I don't want to risk it

I have taken an empty bottle through at many different airports without any problems. They are always empty bottles that were sold with water or soft drink in them

They are probably the same people who think it's necessary to take a small suitcase on wheels onboard as "hand luggage" when all they really need is a book, facewipes and mp3 player.

People at ports never cease to amaze me. I see it on a daily basis - It's as if the majority of people leave their brains at home or on holiday.

The brain switches off and go into dumbass mode.

Or try to get a bag which is 3cm bigger in all three dimensions through.

I've got a holdall and I carry all my electronics, cables, euro charger plugs, guidebooks, magazines, some food and a couple days of clothing just in the off chance my hold luggage gets lost. Last year, my hand luggage weighed 7-7.5kg. Plus my holdall has my handbag inside. Which I put inside the hand luggage when at the gate!

It's nonsense. It's not as if flights landing in London don't also come from countries where the rules aren't enforced. In Dubai once I had two 500ml water bottles with me, no problem at all.
