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

Yes, I had thought of the "buy a new set of luggage each flight" approach
but frankly it's too much hassle.

Take the luggage & just buy toothpaste in small tubes.

And nail scissors and hand cream and ...

The sooner the USA give up on their War on Tourism and start a War on
Something Else instead the better. Maybe with the new president.

Actually, given that every airport has thousands of pairs of confiscated
nail scissors, why don't they just let *arriving* passengers help themselves
to a pair? - save landfill tax.

A UK standard tube of toothpaste is well under 100ml. 70, I think.

The toothpaste is the easy part. And shampoo can be re-bottled

But try getting deodorant spray in the required size (roll-on is possible).

Or solid, which counts as liquid.

Roll-on is what I usually do. Does the job, and is vastly less
inconvenient than the time taken to check in a bag. I don't normally
use shampoo on a short trip, soap does the job, and in any case it's
free in a lot of hotels if the trip happens to involve staying in one.

(Actually, given the cost of checking in a bag on many airlines, it
would actually be cheaper to buy and chuck if you couldn't be bothered
with that)

That's one of those things that I always consider, fail to do before I get
there & then check in after they've pointed out that I owe them a fortune
charge me nothing for. I'm still trying to get my head round it.

Last time I flew for a weekend break, I took a deodorant that had its
size listed only in floz... it got through, even though technically (I
found out later) it shouldn't have!
