With all of the new rules and regulations as far as what you can and cannot take on board, it's crazy anymore! Everything has to be 3 ounces and under, so I had to go out and buy little 3 ounce bottles to put my shampoo, conditioner, contact lens solution, and baby oil into. My brother tells me that anything over 3 ounces will get confiscated at the airport. It's good that the airlines are being very cautious about what they allow and will not allow on their flights, but it makes it a bit tough having to follow all of these rules. I printed out a list of what you can and cannot take, and it's 10 pages long! Who has time to read all of this stuff?

I thought this thread was about a boy taking a flight somewhere


Im going to watch Real World

thats exactly why i swallow my drugs

i either just buy the toiletries i need when i get to my destination or else i end up checking a bag so i can take whatever i want without having to deal with all that nonsense. for me, it's actually worth having to wait at a luggage carousel to avoid all that mess with the ziploc baggies and 3 oz. containers. who has time? forget it.

Checked luggage anyone?

im a ride or die chick.


come see about me

My only beef is I had a sealed bottle of WATER (ie. completely transparent) and I was not allowed on the plane with it.

Yet they do not give me enough water on the plane!

Cinnie said:

well, when you're on the other side of security you can get a bottle of water from an airport shop and take it on the plane. or at least, i've always been allowed to do that.

damn thats what i thought. i'm like takin a flight where?

The Real World was intense tonight. I was like, "OMG!"

I changed the thread title so that it was not misleading.

Anxiety said:

That was my understanding of it too.

psychodelicide said:

eh?

Yet you see smoking lounges near the gates, so presumably it's ok to take a lighter on board with you?

Cinnie said:

you know how there are shops in the airport on the other side of security check? you buy your water in one of THOSE shops, and they'll let you take as many bottled waters as you like on to the plane. it's kind of a racket and airport bottled water is ridiculously expensive, but yeah. you can load up on it at hudson news and take it on the plane, no problem. as long as you buy it on the OTHER side of security, IN the airport. ya know?

Anxiety said:

I know what you mean. I'm pretty sure I've seen OTOP (one tambon, one product) type shops in airports in Thailand and Malaysia after the security check. They sell all manner of ornaments and things, including ceremonial swords and the like that one probably shouldn't bring on a plane. Plus there are the shops selling lighters.

Anxiety said:

Exactly.

ummm nan i hate to tell you but they might not like your new little containers
i say might because i think it just depends how anal the security guy wants to be at your airport.

i saw a guy telling a woman that because it's an unmarked container he has no clue what material is in the bottle. they like the travel sized boughten shit.


i'm with anx though... just put that crap in your checked baggage and walk through with as little damn stuff as necessary. me, my ticket, purse and i take my lip balm out and show them. done.

emm said:

I hope the airline doesn't give me a hassle, because the bottles that I bought were 3 ounces. In fact, it even says on the bottle, "Perfect for air travel". If anybody gives me grief, I'm going to point to the bottle and ask what the trouble is, since the bottles are supposed to be compatible for airlines.

i always love it when my bra sets the metal detectors off though

emm said:

I've never had that happen - yet.

Hudson News has water?

cinne honey you can take an empty bottle through and fill it from the fountain

emm said:

I can't believe about your underwire (I feel bad laughing! I would be mortified!)

Cinnie said:

Me too. Never had any problems with my cock ring.

Cinnie said:

then a female officer has to come over and feel up your back to ensure you actually are wearing a bra
it almost makes me want to walk through bouncin' free... almost

Not enough metal, twiggy.
