Where can you get them?

I don't need the clear bottles, just the 20cm x 20 cm bags. I know some airlines hand them out in the terminal but its a bit risky leaving it til then!

I just use Normal zip lock bags available at the supermarket.

Packet of freezer bags. Poundland or any supermarket will supply, and you'll find the remainder useful for all sorts of things.

I use my own slightly bigger sandwich freezer bags, as I usually only ever do carry on and need a bit more room! flown alot and only once been called out on it. They always have them at the terminal though so you can leave it until then

They have to be sealable also don't they? My freezer bags are not

Sandwich bags though..,,

small ziplock type bags will do.

lemonfolly · 18/07/2014 21:22

yep, they have to be sealable

If you phone the airport and ask they'll tell you, or check their website.

I flew from Glasgow Airport and had a few things in a sandwich bag, I was made to use one of the bags that the airport provided.

They have to be zip lock and they have to be under a certain size - I think no more than 5 x 100ml containers should be in there.

I had too many last time I flew but luckily was allowed to transfer some to DP's zip lock bag which only had one thing in it.

press and seal freezer bags or the ziplock type have been fine for us (we went on holiday at the end of June). Bag has to be a maximum size of 20cmx20cm and container sizes have to be 100mls or under.

ilovepowerhoop · 20/07/2014 22:32

medium resealable food and freezer bags tend to be the correct size - thats what we used for our holiday this year

ilovepowerhoop · 20/07/2014 22:33

sorry, think I mean the small sized food/freezer bags, not the medium ones

ilovepowerhoop · 20/07/2014 22:35

these ones worked fine

mydaftlass · 20/07/2014 22:35

We use ziplock bags or the ones the travel bottles come in in pound land. We never check baggage through and transfer everything into little bottles. I have taken loads of bags at once and they seem fine with that.

ilovepowerhoop · 20/07/2014 22:36

you are supposed to be limited to 1 clear bag per person
