Thought you might like an update. Easyjet has paid out compensation of 400 Euros per passenger plus the expenses. So am satisfied.

Hey that's a result, I think if it had been Mr Ryanair you would still be fighting it. Congrats good to hear some good news for a change.

How do you carry your Liquid shampoo and cosmetics as they are not allowed in hand luggage are they ?????????????
. Cant go without my little essentials

Denise you can carry liquids in the cabin but only in 100ml bottles which must all fit into the plastic bag (avaialble at the airports). I managed around 5 when I wanted to take my aloe vera juice away. Empty bottles available in Boots (cost more than when full of product!) or Superdrug - more reasonable.

Some products are now being sold in 100ml containers for holiday use.

However, its much easier if you simply buy what you want at Boots airside or when you get to your destination. Certainly as far as Spain is concerned there are very few brands you can get here that you can't buy there in the larger supermarkets.

Be careful though, certainly Ryanair are clamping down on 'extras' being taken on board - see their baggage allowance and 'news' sections.....

DENISE WALTERS

Yeh just lazy,
Just want everything at hand with least effort.
One of these women who want to take everything,but the kichen sink type so this is quite an experience to travel so light this time

Can someone explain how the security risk of carrying liquid onto a plane is removed if you place the liquid in a small bottle and then that bottle is placed in a plastic bag (that normally costs 1 Eruo at the airport)!

DENISE WALTERS

Seems stupid to me , but there must be a reason surely???????
That I cant see

Econ

I understood that it started off as a security issue because an explosive mix could be made up from several liquids... I couldn't understand that anyway, an explosive could be made up from a couple of substances moulded as shoe heels, handbags bases or other 'for example', so why block harmless liquids that where obviously just that? when an actual terrorist would bring in explosives another way. Maybe it is to make it look like something is being done 'as seems to be always the case now'. In other words it doesn't matter what it costs the public, as long as they think we are doing something.

Anyway, now that the restriction has been changed to the small amounts of liquid in special plastic bottles that are then placed in small plastic bags..... I wondered what the reasoning for prevention was that is behind this.

It`s just a con so they can rip you off selling drinks after the customs check. ;-(
They still allow babies bottles through, UK make you taste them, Spain don`t bother, they also let us through with a two ltr bottle of mixed water/cordial for the two year old grand daughter.
