contact lenses in cabin luggage

[filthiestfis]

I am flying soon and only carrying hand luggage, I realise that I wont be able to carry contact lenses solution on board, but will I be able to carry lenses that are unopened? (they still come in a solution). I really dont know what to do as I am going to dublin for one day, then flying to manchester for one other day, then flying back to london from manchester, so It will cost loads to buy a bottle of solution at each place, only to then leave it behind! I cant afford time to check in luggage though :(

Wear your glasses??

or you could post your lenses to each place prior to going!!

I reckon its worth taking the chance incase they don't see it - the worst that will happen is they take them off you.

I just flew out of Gatwick and they were really strict but when i flew back i had water, cream, and makeup and no one cared!

Yeah I wear monthly lenses hmmm I could try sneaking them but will still need the solution to clean them in dublin and then man.

no no no- one day in dublin overnight, then one day in man overnight in hotel on both times. Thanks for offering, its just a pain that i have to buy a bottle in each place that i then have to leave behind!!!!
