See-through plastic bags for toiletries going through airport

Hello all,
We are going to Greece for a short holiday and recently when leaving London , it is no longer necessary to separate one's toiletries as one goes through security and therefore no necessity for the see-through bags to separate one's toiletries and my last one broke. I don't know if Athens airport requires this when returning - can any one recommend the best product to buy from Amazon that fits with the specifications for these please. Thank You

I just used to use a small resealable freezer bag as it was around the correct size

I agree, get yourself to the freezer bag aisle in Tesco

I use the small size zip lock freezer bags from Morrisons.

Another vote for freezer bags!

We came back from Greece last week and they supplied zip lock bags at the airport. But yep get some here, I find they are pretty useful for travelling anyway.

i always pick up extra ones going through the airport.

The best ones I’ve found are in Superdrug. Strong with a zip and exactly the right size

I second the Superdrug bags. When away l use it as a toilet bag as well. I also keep my passport and personal docs in a separate one; protection from damage and keeps everything together.

At the time of posting both Athens and Thessaloniki airports still require clear liquid bags and apply the 100ml rule.

Athens Airport does not require a separate bag. I flew from there last summer
