Hiya mgmark7,
I travelled last month to Amsterdam, through KLM airways.
We went from Manchester Airport, when handing over out baggage, we showed the person behind the desk what Mike had in his pocket, and I had in my handbag. they were the clear TW 5 ml bottles. He said they were fine, and no questions asked. also had 2x 30ml bottles wrapped carefully in our luggage, incase we couldn't carry it on our person.
We had no quibbles at all.
Every airline I'm sure would have different policies, but this is just my findings so far Grin
Have a good trip Grin

Thanks Ellen.  I think I will follow your example.  Flying Easyjet to Montpellier so I'll let people know what they are liek when I am back.

I think you need to have less than 100ml of liquids for hand luggage - rest can travel in your suitcase. I have flown to Las Vegas (vaped all the way) with Virgin and had no problems. Just put the liquids in the bag provided for security checks.

Have a great flight!

I believe Easyjet sell ecigs on their planes, so they certainly seem to be ecig-friendly Smiley

Judging by this, you'll have an even easier flight than we did Wink Grin
cheers Nick, I appreciate this too Wink
Happy flight, and Happy vaping

This is from the TSA website:
3-1-1 for carry-ons = 3.4 ounce (100ml) bottle or less (by volume) ; 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag; 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin. One-quart bag per person limits the total liquid volume each traveler can bring. 3.4 ounce (100ml) container size is a security measure.

I've flown all over the US the last few months on a few different airlines. I packed the majority of my supplies (flavorings, PI) in my checked luggage, but if I was going to be gone for a week or more, carried on the following in my purse:
1 titan PCC, fully loaded.
5 five ml bottles of pre-mixed juice in a baggie that took out of my purse when going through security.
Metal Altoids tin with 8 carts I filled at home and 2 atomizers.
1 assembled Tornado
1 Tornado battery


OK, so I'm a little paranoid. But ya know how those airlines are. My bags could end up in San Francisco and I'm in Boston. Didn't want to be caught without my juice LOL
