On my latest trip away I'd forgot to put my expensive perfume in a small plastic bag, there's a machine before you hit customs check,£1 for a little plastic ball containing a plastic bag,a licence to print money in the airports

What a waste. A plastic ball to house a plastic bag. How ridiculous

Heathrow, Gatwick, Stanstead and London City airport I've always obtained a 'free' plastic bag for liquids just before the scanner.

Suggest your airport is a rip off merchant ☺☺☺

However, introduction of the new scanners will be phased in gradually. Some airports may be slower than others.

[Bobbisox1]

My airport is as you say rip off merchants x

[ummmm]

Yep..free when I went away as well.

[SlackAlice]

ooops, spelling police!

Stanstead = Stansted
☺☺☺

[Bobbisox1]

SA it one of the most expensive in the country to fly in and out of,the freeman of the city along with the council set the tariffs ( allegedly)

[Rockrose]

Add Birmingham, East Midlands and both Belfast airports give free bags

excellent, the whole thing was completely radio anyway.

Mental?

About time too - it is totally farcical.

I can remember a few years back going on a summer holiday, me, my wife, our 6 year old at the time and our year old, and having to open a sealed carton of baby milk and take a swig from it - presumably to prove it wasn't hiding a bomb. Absolutely bonkers.

You might as well take your plastic bag with you as you will still need it on the way home (depending where you are coming from)

[Bobbisox1]

I normally do 237 But I forgot then

[237SJ]

I`m saying that when the 3D scanners are introduced and you no longer need a liquids bag, you will still need them on the way back into the UK as outstations will not necessarily have the appropriate scanners.

[Bobbisox1]

Arh right, thanks for that
