Cabin Baggage

Please advise me, I've never travelled with only cabin baggage before. We have a trip coming up to Seville with EasyJet, considering not putting anything in the hold and thus paying extra, just realised what they charge per hold bag shock What I want to know is........ is there a limit on how many small bottles can be taken in hand luggage, I know nothing over a 100 ml is allowed. I'm thinking of decanting the following into small plastic bottles. Cleanser, toner, will bring 1 small moisturiser, shampoo, conditioner. Minimal amount of makeup lipstick, eyebrow pencil, mascara all in small see through bag. We will need to take a deodorant usually in an aerosol. Just not sure about any of this, have never travelled light before. Also if I buy a 100ml bottle of perfume at Duty Free going, will that be allowed in the hold coming back?

Seasoned light travellers pleeeese help me .......

Lisagran do report back here when you return, don't tell me if Easyjet aren't any good though grin We are doing half a week in Seville and catching the train to Cordoba for a couple of nights. Hope you enjoy your stay.

Thank you Squiffy I've spent a day there, but knew I had to go back for more.

I think there's a maximum of 1000ml?

I've heard if you use a cabin rucksack rather than a case, it won't be selected to go in the hold. Don't know if it's true.

I don't know chelseababy - it just seemed that those at the front of the queue were allowed to take their hand luggage in the plane with them, those at the end (who couldn't walk so fast along the miles of corridors!) had to have their luggage put in the hold as there was no more room in the cabin.

Home Bargains had nice little bags with small amounts of contents for this purpose. They are in the travel section.

Ryanair have tightened up even more recently, Jalima. You’re only allowed a small bag to keep with you. Anything the size of a wheelie now has to go in the hold (at a cost), unless you pay for priority boarding, and only the first 100 can do that. It’s mighty confusing.

As others have said, it’s a risk to decant. I’ve seen people having to ditch bottles that were obviously under 100ml just because the size wasn’t printed on them.

Oh, and DH once got caught out by a very zealous security person who insisted he had to force both his asthma inhalers into the little plastic bag as well. Usually they allow them to go separately.
