A mum has shared a hack to get around the airport 100ml liquid rule – without having to use up suitcase space. Andrea Wallace, 46, found the perfect way to bring as many liquids as she wanted on to the plane without being limited by weight or restricted to 100ml or less.
The mum-of-one shared how she ordered toiletries to click-and-collect from Boots – picking up her items after check-in and security. Andrea tried out the hack – recommended to her by a friend – before she headed off on her summer holiday to Antigua, the Caribbean, this year.
She stocked up on nappies for her five-month-old son so she could save suitcase space as she could carry in an additional duty-free bag. She also picked up large bottles of shampoo, conditioner, mouthwash, deodorant, suncream and aftersun – all of which can be more expensive if bought abroad.
Andrea, a fitness instructor, from Croydon, south London, said: “I heard the hack and thought it was a good idea – I would be saving on space as well as weight. I tried it for the first time and I had doubts but I took the risk. I knew I would get a refund for the order if it didn’t work.”
“Toiletries and nappies are really expensive when you’re abroad, or they might not have the ones you like at the place you’re visiting. It worked really well – I’ll definitely do it again.”
Boots allows you to order click and collect at a number of airports – including Heathrow and East Midlands. This means that you pay High Street prices, order before you head top other airport and collect your items after you have passed through security.
