And I don’t usually use that word very often…
Between the new liquid regulations and the luggage fees, I am having a heck of a time. It is a NO WIN situation here and it ticks me off. I would rather have the airlines charge a slightly higher fee to travel and include at least one damn bag!
Picture this: sweet, beauty consultant on a budget is going to a destination wedding for the weekend. Said beauty consultant has a need of many liquid products for her, ahem, beauty regimen. Not to mention that lovely woman is going to be IN the destination wedding. She only needs ONE bag, which she does NOT want to check and PAY a gazillion dollars for. BUT she has need of many products. Fortunately, all the products she can SURVIVE ON fit in a quart size bag. Do they fit "comfortably"? Debatable. Do all the little potions look like something someone could create a b*mb with? If you watch a lot of crime shows on network television: most definitely.
So where does that leave me?
Pretty irritated and crossing my fingers. I hate being nickled and dimed!
I’m right there with you! We travel a lot and always attempt to ‘carry on’ only, but fitting my liquids into one tiny bag? And get this; since I can’t find sample sizes of my favorite shampoos and conditioners, I used plain generic bottles. A lady guard at security then called me on the carpet about it. Didn’t I know that generic botttles are a no-no? I could have put ALL KINDS OF DANGEROUS LIQUIDS in them!!! The bottles need to be clearly labeled!! I bit my tongue and didn’t point out that the bottles were ‘air line’ approved, and also anyone could empty the original contents and substitute ALL KINDS OF DANGEROUS LIQUIDS!!! I hate terrorists!
