Flying with hand-luggage? New service means you can AVOID the 100ml liquid ban
THE 100ml liquid ban has changed the way people travel - but a revolutionary new airport service means those who regularly travel with just hand–luggage can bend the rules.
A new Boots service now lets travellers avoid the 100ml liquid ban
Budget airlines are able to offer cheap flights to holidaymakers by charging for hidden add-ons.
Checking in luggage is something many of the cheaper airlines such as Ryanair and Norwegian Air charge travellers to do.
Therefore many choose to just travel with hand-luggage to keep costs low.
This can then cause problems when attempting to keep all liquids under 100ml.
Yet a new airport service is set to change this by enabling travellers to order their toiletries and liquids to the airport to be picked up.
It also means being able to grab a bargain when buying everything at a cheaper price outside of the airport.
With the stores being inside the airport terminals and therefore after airport security, the products then won’t be breaking the liquid regulation.
Offered by Boots, the 'Order and Collect' service is available in most UK airports, which is great news for beauty junkies.

Sun cream is the most important product to have with you on holiday, so don’t forget to take ample with you to help protect your skin
One of the biggest problems is taking enough sun cream that won’t break the liquids ban.
An average adult should be applying two tablespoons (approximately 35ml) to their body every two hours when on holiday.
This adds up to two bottles of suncream per person for a weeks holiday, which is impossible to get through with hand-luggage.
Clare O’Connor, Boots Skincare Expert says: “Sun cream is the most important product to have with you on holiday, so don’t forget to take ample with you to help protect your skin.”

Many budget airlines charge for extra luggage so the new service will save travellers
The liquid ban can hit some unsuspecting products, meaning Britons are forced to throw away items before boarding.
One of the most popular items that break the rule is Marmite, as it is classed as a liquid.
The popular British food is regularly taken on holiday for friends and family who live abroad.
Luckily, they have now launched a 70ml bottle to beat the liquid ban.
