Packing The Perfect Toiletries
Make a list
The first thing to do is make a list of the things you need, it helps keep you organized and keeps you from over packing. If your list looks too long, you need to cut it down and only bring the essentials. It’s always comforting to bring everything but most of the time you won’t even touch half the items. Being strict on packing will not only mean you’re not overpacking, it makes getting through airport security easier.
Choose a toiletries bag that’s clear
Choose a plastic zipper bag or buy a reusable clear cosmetic zipper bag that’s TSA approved. Get them at your local Boots and Superdrug, or if you’re looking to splash more cash, Flight 001 sells great quality carry-on toiletry bags. The most important things are ensuring the bag is clear, fits UK airport restriction dimensions and the zip is secure to ensure no spillage in your bag.
Keep it in an easily accessible part of your bag
While airport security rules vary from country to country, it is best to assume you will need to scan your toiletries bag separately during airport security. Place your bag in a side pouch or at the top of your bag, making it easy to reach for it and not holding up the queue as you rummage through your bag.
