Why would you want to take tins of ham into Turkey!

Heard of Tea bags etc but Ham?

Just realised YOU SWINE! lol!!!!!

Thats fine but your not spreading flu in my apartments !

I would put them in the hold luggage, Security may want to open them in your hand luggage.

Dave

there are not for me our friends over there would like me to take some over

do you think coffee and hot chocolate are ok in the hand luggage, with putting all the ham in the case i have no room

Are you planning on taking any clothes.

the shopping list I have to take over there I might have to take a few out

i take coffe tea super noodles cup a soups with me and put them all in the suitcase

Forgive me If I am wrong but dont you go on holiday for a change in cuisine?

All I am taking is a fat but empty stomach!

You should be fine, I think its the other way round bringing meat from Turkey to the UK rather than UK to Turkey.
As long as your not taking the pig to be cut in Turkey

Suzie, you know you can actually get all those things in Turkey

suemackey,why would you want to take these things for people there,and take less clothes for your hols,when they can get them out there!!! people take bacon and sausages)and yet there is a wholesalers in Marmaris where they can purchase these items.

there are certain things I am taking over that can not be bought over there and if you can they are alot more expensive. I dont normally take many clothes s I buy most of my clothes in turkey each year

Talk about taking food to turkey ,have a look at this .

Was in glasgow airport last year ,and got talking to this couple who were going out to turkey on the same flight as us .We were waiting for the check in desk to open ,when these two men one leading a dog wlked past ,the dog started whining and sniffing about the cases of the couple .Straight away i thought the worse ,drugs ? and here we were talking to them ,the wife and i got the fright of our lives . The couple were asked to open their cases and lo and behold right on the top there were packets of sausages , bacon ,black pudding ,fruit pudding ,even free range eggs packed in a plastic container ,there was hardly any room for clothes in the case ,it was all confiscated . I was never so pleased in my life ,i felt my holiday slipping away if it was drugs and we were sat talking to them .The couple were the talk of the flight .

Blue Peter that reminds me of when i went to Jamaica a few years ago we had to stand in a line whilst the sniffer dogs walked past us.

I would not go as far as taking eggs though

Hi Suemackey.

I worked for 5 years at Birmingham Airport on security, I can tell you if you put the tins of ham in hand luggage they will definitely be confiscated. If you put them in baggage hold, remember that all airport baggage is now screened behind check in, they may possibly return your suitcase and ask you to open it up, however as it is in the hold and you can prove that they are in actual fact tins of ham ie: supermarket reciept there is a good chance they will allow you to keep it, my advice pack them in your suitcase.

Have just read some of your posts.............am I right in thinking that you are taking these things out for someone else? Suemackey, can I just say that you should NEVER! take anything on board an aircraft for anyone else, not only can it be extremely dangerous, but also are you absolutely sure that what you are taking is what they say it is, you would not believe how many people we have stopped carrying goods for other people and everything was confiscated, and on a few occasions the person involved was stopped from flying and banned by the Airline and other Airlines.

PLEASE, only take what belongs to you, you run a very great risk not only to yourself but to other passengers as well.

so are we allowed to take bacon sausages cheese etc in the hold luggage if it is for ourselves, last yr i took cheese in my hand luggage and nothing was said has the rules changed, i always take these items with me when i go abroad
