What's the 'liquid' policy for flying to Thai, I mean the shampoo, skincare products & liquid makeups etc? Some told me you just need to put them in the plastic bag they provided and you can carry them onboard. But a friend told me they will be confiscated unless we check them in.

Thanks flameboy3.

Hmm.. I'm planning to bring a whole lunchbox of fried rice with me next time cause the air pressure always makes me feel really hungry upon taking off and the food in AirAsia always not fulfilling.

Can I bring a pillow up and upon arrival, can I pass the UK custom without them decapitating my pillow to see if there's any drugs? You know la.. if taking Airasia, with pillow will be more comfortable in such a long flight.

Penalty? OK.. definitely not bringing any food then.
However, there's a few times I saw people eating stuffs on Airasia (on my way to Thailand and Bali) which is definitely not bought on the flight and I didn't see any shop inside waiting area that sells those stuffs. E.g : Krispy Kreme doughnuts (I was drooling over my neighbours doughnuts ), King Bakery's cakes. How did they get those on planes?

Hi, does anyone here wrap their check in back packs or just check in like that? I mean those bags that doesn't have any security lock.

I had check in my backpacks a few times and there's no problem so far. Then, on my last trip I saw people fully wrap their back packs before check in. That makes me wonder, is it safe to just check in my backpack without wrappings since it can't be locked? I didn't put in any valuable stuff inside but I check in the bag just for the sake of liquids. I'm just worried if someone putting extra stuffs inside.

I noticed the Bangkok airport did open up my backpack when I travelled there, because there's a sticker 'Security Passed' (or something like that) on my medication when I open it.

Hi, I went into UK immigration website to check what are the items prohibited but still confused, especially on what medications/OTC that I can bring along. As I don't like scrambling around looking for pharmacy in foreign countries when I got sick, I prefer to bring my own medications. Are these allowed into France and UK?

Teck Aun pils (for food poisoning)
Minyak Cap Kapak
Activefast/Paracetamol
Actal for gastric
Fybogel (the packaging says made in UK, actually).
Sevensea Cod Liver Oil (supplement that doctor recommended to me as I'm prone to flu, packaging says made in Great Britain).

I had bring all these to Korea and SE Asia countries before without problem.

thanks. Maybe I'll consider asking for lomotil from doctor instead for food poisoning. I get sick a lot especially after flights. So these are basically my imust haves when travel. Is redoxon passable for the custom check?

Thanks, I'll buy Redoxon tomorrow.

Need urgent advice. I just bought a nasal spray from Guardian and after open the package just realized it's an aerosol bottle. I need nasal spray because the last time I was on flight, my nose seriously dry and hurt. Can I bring the nasal spray onto plane?

But the hurt is inside the nose, at the nose bridge area wor.. I need the aerosol nasal spray to pump in sterile water into that area.

Just checked at TSA (US) website and an Australian dept of infras & transportation website . It says aerosol for over-the-counter, personal care and toiletries are allowed in hand-carry if under 100 ml. Just worried whether this 'standard' rules is made known in LCCT or not.

I'll think I'll gamble. Put it together with my other liquids into zip lock bag. If they notice then I explain, if not ..

You mean spray the water into my nostrils? Last time I did bring a water spray but I just spray outside the nose lah, doesn't work.
