no, it isn't mine (or yours) that have been brought for the big occasion it has to be bought (airside) especially for the big occasion.
From a limited range and stock. And at grossly inflated prices.
And you know full well you cannot bring a flask of liquid.

but you selectively failed to mention this bit ......

Yeah, quite often i get irritated by not being able to bring my Bollinger and Caviar through security for "the big occasion"...

...of a 2.5 hour flight to Malaga:r ofl:

Take the bl**dy ferry, and drive.

Errrr..............oh my, you've got me there!! I dont know what someone with a dietary problem would possibly do without eating for over two hours, even tho its only fluids that cant be taken airside not food!!! I've heard announcements on planes when there is someone on the flight with a peanut allergy, I've seen people who have type 1 diabetes eating a digestive biscuit or a high glucose sweet, i have coeliacs desease so I cant eat gluten........ um......... does this mean that I should have flown with an all inclusive airline???

I dont get your arguementyou can bring stuff from home, and even if you do need special dietry needs, is there a guarantee that you will be served that on a more expensive airline?

There maybe a choice of food included in a plane ticket, but the menu choice will be less varied than what is available to buy at the airport.

And as Jo said, a flight nowadays is a form of transport, it stopped being an all important event years ago.

Make your cheese & pickle sandwiches at home, wrap them in clingfilm and put them in a your bag. Decant 500ml of tap water into 5 x 100ml bottles and put them in a clear plastic bag. Simple.....

From www.directgov.uk

Essential medicines, including inhalers and liquid dietary foodstuffs

You are allowed to carry essential medicines of more than 100ml in your hand baggage, but you will need:

•prior approval from the airline and departure airport
•supporting documentation from a relevant qualified medical professional (eg a letter from your doctor or prescription)
Remember to take only what you need for your journey. Extra supplies and larger containers of medicine can go in your hold baggage.

My favourite pickles are all quite moist.

Would pickle on a sarney get through? Or would you have to separate it, place in a plastic bag and, if under 100ml, re-apply to cheese once through security and celebrating that "special occasion"...

...the 2.5 hour flight to malaga

Now you are being pedantic

Actually, I've never had a problem taking sandwiches either made at home or bought at a supermarket before travelling to the airport through security - including the ones with mayonnaise or pickle on!

From the Spanish end or the UK ?

I cant believe how this thread has got onto such a totally inane subject LOL!

Jo xxx

I agree. I never knew people went to such lengths to avoid spending money; or were they joking?

Both - from Malaga and from Manchester.

And I don't do it to save money - rather because I prefer sandwiches that have a decent amount of filling, not those in which the filling doesn't come within a couple of centimetres of the edge of the bread, so when I can I make them at home. If I can't, in the UK a wider choice is available from any supermarket than I can buy at the airport.

No need to explain to me as I make you right.
The reason I ask is that the Spanish end is normally a good deal more relaxed about such things IMO, in fact I have never meet any of the jobsworth types that are often on duty at Gatwick.

It was decanting water into 5 x 100ml containers that I thought was a joke.
Surely no one would go to those lengths to save a quid or so.

Ummm, I was being ironic but others might want to do that
