![]() I was pulled aside, my personal bag looked through and my liquids bag was looked through, no problem with the actual bag. I think Dublin was the one airport where we experienced more scrutiny than any other airport. The freezer bag may be fine for people who don't take a lot of liquids, I do (hair products and make up!) and I can when I use this bag. Like others have said it should be the last thing you pack so you can easily access it and pull it out, no need to be worried about the bag opening, or being floppy with the travel bag, I can yank on it and it stays closed and rigid. I purchased mine on Amazon and it was the best thing I could have done! Because the bag is much firmer my items stay upright and I can fit soooo much more in there than the grocery store quart freezer bags (did this my first big trip.never again!). It was very stressful esp as we had a tight time frame until our next flight. They make you do this in front of the customs officer. ![]() We had to wait about 20 minutes while 2 people in front of us repacked and agonized over several bags of cosmetics. In our case, my dad had forgotten he had taken out a small bottle of liquid from his ziplock and it was in an outside pocket of his carry on. They had to discard many items that did not fit. ![]() We saw a lot of people with full Zip-lock gallon bags, other TSA approved bags having to repack in front of the Customs officer. We ( and many other people) had successfully gone thru screenings at our home airports (mine is kennedy) without problems, but were stopped transferring to a connecting flight at Heathrow. Heathrow is much stricter than many other airports. Put those in the bag you got at Heathrow. they are very serious about the 100 ml, fitting into one bag rule.Ĥ) Take the time to check your carry on to be certain you have not forgotten any liquids, gels, toothpaste, you may have purchased in duty-free or taken out of your zip-lock. they mean it.ģ) take the time to transfer your items into one of THEIR BAGS. You will be told by overhead announcement that they are stricter than other airports. JUST went thru Heathrow and STRONGLY suggest you do the following:ġ)when packing, put your zip-lock bag on the top of your carry on so you can easily get to it.Ģ) as you approach security at Heathrow, they will be MANY MANY signs and places where you can take one of their bags.
