Generally I can survive away from home for more than 24hrs without nail
scissors & toothpaste is available in most of the world nowadays.

Indeed. Buy solid deodorant, tooth powder and solid shaving soap.

I got the "you are a terrorist" treatment with solid deodorant at Newquay
in April. They were also sniffy about used bars of soap and solid shampoo,
and a hoggs pudding (though they might have thought that that was a
biological warfare risk).

Regards,

Helen

By that standard they clearly expect everyone to be somewhat sniffy!

Please may I have some of what these people are on?

Solid deodorant is OK according to BAA's list; but other places may have
different interpretations.

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.

I've flown with it into/out of US, China, Hong Kong, India, France, Vietnam,
Japan,
Germany, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore and Brazil so far and not had any
problems. If none
of those places query it, I'd be really surprised if I get pulled up
anywhere...

Using an aeroplane to get to Newquay and back makes you little better
than one in my eyes. What about taking a train?

I have no money, the flight was free and it was important for me to see
someone there. I hope that meets your moral standards.

No.

Now go and eat a bucket of organic free-range wholewheat tofu as penance.

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.

Ah, but none of them have the best bolted stable doors in the world like

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!
