[pukkapig]

I am having a handbag and cabin bag no hold bag ... I have 6 100ml bottles can I carry them all if I put them into a clear plastic bag each or am I only allowed one bag??

You can put them all in one bag

They've stopped doing the plastic bag thing. I didn't have to do it when I flew Bristol to Krakow in September

Each liquid must be in its own container, measuring no more than 100ml (3.4oz).

All liquids must be put in a single, transparent, re-sealable plastic bag of up to 20 x 20cm (8 x 8in) with a total capacity of up to 1 litre approx. 1 quart.

You must be able to completely close the bag and fit it in your hand baggage.

You must take the bag of liquids out of your hand baggage to be screened separately.*

Aerosols can be carried into the cabin but cannot be used on board.

This on the ba website but I read it one 20x20 bag ?? Really is that just one for everything do you think as that's not much like I need shampoo conditioner shower gel and coconut oil in 100ml bottles they won't fit in there?? And there is toothpaste? Issue os there is never anyone to ask it's all 'bots' useless really

These rules seem to not be as strict as they used to be I have found. It's security (rather than the airline) who dictate about things in bags and laptops, phones, bags taken out. Last time I flew (September) we were told to leave everything in our hand baggage through security - but a different day, different airport might say take it all out and put liquids in a clear plastic bag.

Prudie, so I have 6 100ml plastic containers can I just put them all in bags ... my friend I'm travelling with is so 'rule book' it's frustrating as I'm more laid back but if I put in plastic bags at the airport as they have them all there?  

[Prudie]

Yes I'd just put them in bags, in fact i'd probably put them all in one clear larger bag. If they don't like it, as you say they have smaller bags available. I take a lot of make-up, liquid foundations, big mascaras etc etc and just put it all in one clear plastic zipped make-up bag. Been doing that without issue for several years.

You need to put all of the 100ml (max) bottles into one clear plastic bag, not separate bags.

It depends on the airport, if the airport has been modernised with body scanners you should be ok. Stansted has been partially modernised, Manchester is as is Belfast international.

I've found a lot of flexibility on the plastic bag front in recent years, both out and home.

Aldi medium freezer bags hold the allowance and have tie handles to 'seal'.
