You can take toothpaste on a plane, though it has to be in a silly
plastic bag. If I'm going away for a weekend, I hardly consider nail
scissors an important part of my kit.

Hand luggage only, with online check-in, is still very possible.
Indeed, it's how I fly most of the time.

I've wondered what the rules are on the "resealable
plastic bag". Can you take a supermarket grapes bag
or does it have to be of an approved design?

Also I was looking for a source of small squeezy bottles
for a few days' supply of e.g. shaving gel or toothpaste.
The squeezy bottles sold in travel shops are too large
(50-100ml, I'm looking for more like 10ml), and hotel
shampoo miniatures are rarely squeezy enough.

I may be wrong (for that read "I'm probably wrong"), but I think the Body
Shop sell all manner of bottles. Maybe there's something squeezy enough
there?

I can't remember seeing 10ml-ish squeezy bottles anywhere -- that size
tends to be screwtop jars which you'd need a spatula to get stuff in and
out of.

Muji have all kinds of containers if you're in reach of one.

Cam.miscers could try Tesco's Fulbourn store, the rack to the left of
the pharmacy. They've got lots of things like small screw-top bottles
for cosmetics, and miniatures of toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant, etc.,
just exactly for flight purposes. Folks from u.t.l might like to try
their local Tesco's, if it's big enough.

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!
