So interesting! And good info.
I travel with carryon only, sometimes up to six weeks at a time. (spent 6 weeks in East Africa last year with carryon that included hiking boots, snorkels and fins, clothes that had to cover my knees and elbows, as well as a laptop and camera equipment).
My understanding is that liquids and gels are all that have to go into the Ziploc. So I donâ€t put my stick deodorant in there, just stick it in an easily accesible backpack pocket in case an inspector takes offence.
I buy small plastic squeeze containers at the pharmacy to decant my favorite skin cream, hair dye (well hell yeah, 6 weeks!!!) etc, and by eliminating the fancy packaging most products come in, that still leaves me plenty of space for a tube of good sunscreen, small tube of toothpaste, antibiotic ointment, cortisone ointment, and other possible necessities.
As Daniel and Liz mentioned, put that bag right into the bin as you go through the line.
In a separate Ziploc I keep any pill type prescriptions (including cipro or malarial pills just in case) and stuff the corners of my bag with stacks of those pad face cleansers (Neutrogena or whatever) that I cut in half to make them go longer. .
Lately Iâ€ve been travelling with bar shampoo and conditioner from Lush. It doesnâ€t count as liquid. I was happy with their shampoos but the conditioner bar I bought melted in steamy weather. I also tried the Lush toothpaste “pills†but they tend to weld together in their package in humidity.
