By that standard they clearly expect everyone to be somewhat sniffy! Please may I have some of what these people are on? -- Brian |

Solid deodorant is OK according to BAA's list; but other places may have different interpretations. http://www.baa.com/assets/B2CPortal/..._CantDec06.pdf As we are talking about Luton, they have (had?) a big collection of things (pinned on a noticeboard) that were banned (ie were liquids or deemed to be pseudo-liquids). The one that surprised me was lip balm. This was at a time before they introduced the plastic bags and you couldn't take any of the things that are currently restricted to 100ml. -- Roland Perry |

If none of those places query it, I'd be really surprised if I get pulled up anywhere... Chris |

No. Now go and eat a bucket of organic free-range wholewheat tofu as penance. -- One way ticket from Mornington Crescent to Tannhauser Gate please. |

Regards, Helen Nothing to do with morality... what's this free airline called then? I know RyanAir were doing flights to Italy for £4 last summer, but your's sounds a better deal. PS. I've experienced having no money as well, we used to hitch. |

... Hand luggage only, with online check-in, is still very possible. Indeed, it's how I fly most of the time. Mrs. F. and I are flying in October for 10 days in offtopic San Francisco and Vegas /offtopic. I'm having trouble convincing her we can do it with hand baggage! Ian |
