bottles on planes

**confusd** · 08-04-2008 22:11

i dont know if this is the right place, but
i just read in a magazine that you can only take bottles containing 100ml on liquid on the plane and that it has to be in a ziplock bag!
now im traveling to tasmania for a holiday and on going to need to take two bottles (or more) on the plane with me. now her bottles hold more than 100mls and two dont fit in a ziplock bag!!

now im starting to stress
have i read this wrong? or is there an exemption on baby bottles?? does anyone know?
the jetstar web site is so crappy i cant find anything

Hmmm i'd find out about that ...
we travelled in australia about 7 months ago and i never had a problem taking bottles onto the plane. maybe its changed though ...
Maybe just ring up and ask to be sure ??

I'm 99% sure that baby feeding stuff is exempt

I have flown several times domestically in the last year/this year and have never had a restriction on the bottles etc. I have always taken a couple on board with me, filled to the brim and certainly not in zip lock bags.

( I flew with Virgin Blue and Qantas)

A friend of mine flew from Brisbane to Townsville earlier this year and was told something similar and was told the easiest way of doing it is to have the water in the bottle as there are no restrictions on water, and have the stick-pack formulas then mix it up as needed. That way also you don't have to worry about safe storage when travelling.

Yes baby things are exempt but you still have to present the bottles and be prepared to drink some of the water if asked.

BUT I don't think it applies to domestic flights anyway.

yip baby's things are exempt, i've flowen internation heaps with the kids and have never had a problem,

like the PP said, I think its only internation flights that have that, domestic should be fine,

to be on the safe side ring the airline anyways, they will beable to tell you

Oh, all this is good to know. I am going to Malaysia in 3 weeks, and will need to take 2 bottles with me for DS on the plane.........

I didn't think there was restrictions with baby stuff

Actually has anyone been to Kuala Lumpar/Penang recently and bought nappies there? I've been told that they sell the huggies over there, are they the same, or different sizing etc??

Thinking I just might buy some over there, rather than drag a pack with me
