Re: Making flight more comfortable

Current liquid Laws - Heathrow Jan 2008:
Travelling with liquids - 100ml rule
Only limited quantities of liquids may be carried through security control as hand baggage. This includes bottled drinks, suntan lotion, fragrances, cosmetics and toiletries.
The following restrictions apply to all liquids, creams, gels, pastes and aerosols taken through security control:
- Liquid items may only be carried in containers holding up to 100ml.
- They must be carried separately in a single transparent, re-sealable plastic bag.
- The bag must be no larger than 20cm x 20cm (8in x 8in) and all items must fit inside so that it closes properly.
- At security control the bag must be placed separately on the conveyor belt for screening.
- Liquid items larger than 100ml should be packed in your hold luggage - otherwise they will be confiscated.
- Exceptions to the 100ml rule can be made for baby food or milk. However, you should only carry what you need for the flight, and you may be asked to taste these items at security control.
- Exceptions may also be made for medicines. However, you may be asked to taste any liquid medicines, or to provide evidence (such as a doctor's letter) that you need them for your journey.
Anything you buy after security control can be taken on board the aircraft, including bottled water, wines and spirits, fragrances and cosmetics in sizes over 100ml.

My little one had stopped drinking formula but still found a beaker of milk a comfort and part of his night time routine, so I just bought the formula sachets as a way to get round the liquid regulations and the problems of keeping milk fresh over a long period of time. Just make sure your beaker is big enough to put the right amount of water in.
I was told that I would have to open and taste any baby food jars. The tasting I could put up with, but once they are open they are not going to last the duration of the journey. Singapore air will provide a baby meal or a child meal (depending on how your baby is with solid food) and this was always adequate but didn't always come when the baby was hungry. Hence the baby cereal.
Also you can use the milk sachets and baby cereal in any stopover hotels as all you need is a beaker and a kettle. Once again, very good in an emergency when its either too late or you are too knackered to go and shop for an alternative in an unfamiliar place. Fast food places will always provide you with boiling water if you need it also.
Have Fun!
