Pleasures of Air Travel
A Great Idea from Judy Dykstra-Brown
I bought a bottle of water for some outrageous price and they took it away because it was “too big.” Then, for an even more outrageous price, they sold me another of the identical water inside the departure lounge which apparently was not too big. Bunch of rip-offs!
They also nicked Garry’s new, unopened hair gel and my brand new shampoo. Bet they kept all of it and took it home!

I’m sure that’s what they did. It is a rip off.

It IS a rip-off. If you can’t take it on the plane, why do they sell it right outside the boarding lounge?

I think it’s their way of upping their salary by grabbing YOUR stuff to take home with them.

Twice when I flew to London they took away my toothpaste because the tones were too nig

I thought it was funnier the other way, but I didn’t even carry toothpaste. The shampoo was less than four ounces so I never did figure it out.

Probably because it was liquid, it could be an explosive liquid

Yes. An unsealed bottle of water from their own kiosk — WITH the receipt. Do the usually sell explosive water at their own kiosk?

The deciding factor is where you bought it. If obtained outside the boarding area it is assumed you may be a terrorist bringing some lethal liquid into the terminal, and onto the aircraft. If you bought it after you pass through security, it is assumed to be OK.., no chance of it being a lethal substance. I usually carry empty containers in my luggage and fill them after I pass through CHECK-POINT CHARLIE. As for the hair gel.., I don’t understand why larger quantities pose more of a problem than smaller ones??? Can you take a plane hostage by threatening the passengers with over-geling their hair, whether they want you to or not? Go figure!

And these were brand new, never-opened AND I got them right outside their gate, Thieves.

Glad to help. I only had those pictures, so finding them was the bigger problem 🙂
