I thought there were fine plans to bin this nonsense

So sick of having to plan around it and buy overpriced extra stuff I don't need

It’s really not that hard to plan around.

It requires different toothpaste, different face cleanser, different moisturiser, different serums, different SUN protection, I can't take a bottle of sparkling water I have to pay £3 for one instead. Don't be a mule just because you can, yknow.

I just bought little pots and bottles and decanted stuff into them. One off spend. Sure, I'd like to see it go, but it wasn't as expensive as you make out.

When they get the 3D scanners, for a start.

I never buy stuff at the airport where it is indeed overpriced. I take what brands I can’t live without decanted into travel bottles and then buy shower gel if I need to when I arrive.

(I mean if the hotel / apartment doesn’t provide it, I know I need to wash!!)

I thought they were lifting restrictions this year? My daughter discovered gruum products when she was going on a school trip to Madrid. They’re cheap, give loads of stuff away for free with your first order, they do shampoo/conditioner soap bars etc. It gave her more room for make up 🙄

It is a pain in the arse

we flew from Heathrow a few weeks ago and they weren’t doing it. Didn’t have to take anything out of our bags like ipads etc
