Any reason why one can't fly with an armful of energy gels in your hand luggage? Each pack is less than a 100ml isn't it.

I'd suggest calling the airline.. Whilst technically legitimate, it could well cause a kerfuffle at security!

If you do take liquids in your hand luggage:

containers must hold no more than 100ml containers must be in a single, transparent, [b]resealable plastic bag, which holds no more than a litre and measures approximately 20cm x 20cm[/b] contents must fit comfortably inside the bag so it can be sealed the bag must not be knotted or tied at the top
you’re limited to [b]1 plastic bag per person[/b] you must show the bag at the airport security point

Also, depends which way you're going. Leaving the UK, the liquid rule is pretty strictly enforced. Other countries differ greatly.

Also - Hand baggage? Put them in a bag in the hold. Carry as little as you actually need on board!

Well if one is forced to fly hold luggage, one obviously isn't flying to one of one's other residences is one... darling.

Cheers bruneep, might manage to get Mrs Stoner to smuggle a few sachets of contraband out to me. Jeez our security policies are a load of shit.
