I'm travelling with Ryanair and their rule is 20x20cm. Today I popped into Boots and Superdrug but nothing
Does anyone know where I can get a zipped clear plastic bag? I was going to look at the supermarket zip seal type but not sure if any will be approx 20x20, and if someone can tell me where's best then I won't have to troll around ALL of the supermarkets or pound shops.
Thanks
The airport will have them just before the security scanners, I have heard that some airports charge for them? not sure if this is correct as I know neither, Prestwick, Glasgow or Edinburgh airports charge and you just pick them up.
There are ideal bags , from Amazon , if you use them , and I've heard that Wilko and pound shops sell the right size bags .

I know that they are freely available at Gatwick and Heathrow , and they use the resealable grip types ones because they hold the vapour in when doing their liquid testing better than the zip lock bags .
There is nothing wrong with using the correct size zip lock bags but security will probably transfer the contents into a grip type bag if they have a "vapour sniffing " test to do on your liquids bag .
I just use the freezer bags with the seal top.100 for around a pound!
I'd never have thought that buying a plastic bag would be so much hassle
Andy, should I just look for a grip one preferably?
I have a handful at home but have found the same one I'm using to be still ok , I have used the zip lock bags previously for putting chargers in our hold luggage but I tend to find the plastic lock bit always comes off the runners !! Like any plastic reusable item it will wear out eventually due to wear and tear .
As Kiltman says most major airports seem to have free bags , but I've heard some do charge , like 3 for £1 or 2 for 50p .
Mrs I know what you are like, so don't get your knickers in a twist and just get them at the airport, that's the simplest way, they will be before the security scanners.
Now start looking forward to this holiday and stop panicking over a plastic bag
Thanks Andy
Our came from Matalan - not sure if they still do them or not though
I got some today from Tesco so my flapping is now over I diddled myself though as they are 18 x 18 cm
The same happened at Sharm and Dalaman airport last year and Rhodes the year before.
Seriously I'm surprised at Alicante , the Spanish seem switched on at security , and Sharm , well I'm not surprised , I'll leave it at that
Just to clarify though , the rules have not been relaxed , but hopefully your arm now feels more relaxed Jaytrip

That's 3.3 litres in my estimation I'm sure you actually mean 330ml , either you have a big bag or Sharm security really is that bad
Or 33cls.
Just imagine trying to explain the rule in fluid ounces
I think its obvious I didnt have 3 litres but strange that they didnt see the bottle.
I said in a light hearted way. Thus the
Well, as someone who was allowed into a high security prison with a knife in my handbag that I wouldn't be allowed to take on a plane in my hand luggage at the time but did have my mobile phone taken off me and kept until I left, nothing really surprises me anymore about the application of security measures or the ability of security staff to actually tell properly what is in our bags when they are X-rating them! If I had remembered the knife was there I wouldn't have taken it in with me. I only realised on the way out that I had just spent 3 hrs in there with it in my bag!
I also took my insulated mug for on the plane so I could keep my coffee hot and they weren't pleased over that either, even did a drug test on it!
I remember when the plastic bag rule was brought in and at the beginni9ng of the security line, you were given a free bag to make sure yuor toiletries were in the right kind of bag.
Plastic bags were free at Manchester T2 when we flew from there in May
