Woman's 'genius' airport hack for toiletries declared a 'game changer'

A woman has revealed her 'genius' airport hack for toiletries and people are saying it's a 'game changer'.

We've all been burned by the 100ml limit at airport security that prevents you from bringing big bottles of your favourite toiletries when you're travelling. But, this new hack could save you the hassle and allow you to have your favourite stuff on holiday.

Posting on TikTok, Ellie Connolly (@ellieconnollyx) revealed she orders all her travel toilets to collect from the Boots in duty free. That way, she doesn't have to carry them through security, and also avoid paying the higher prices of duty free shops because they've been ordered online.

In her video, she said: "This is one of my favourite travel hacks. So, when you're going away, say you're only taking hand luggage, we all know the restrictions and the little clear bags are a bit of a nightmare.

"What I do, is I go onto Boots online and I order everything I want about a week or two before, and I get it delivered, normally for the day before I fly so that I know it's definitely there, I think they keep it for like up to two weeks. But when you order it you just need to make sure it's on air side, after security, so when you go through security, go in Boots, pick it up, they'll put it in a little bag for you and then you've got all your toiletries without paying the hiked airport prices."

People in the comments were loving the hack. One person said: "Game changer" and another said: "You're a genius". Others mentioned that this can be used for more than just toiletries, as one person said: "Great hack if you have a baby and want formula"

Another said: "Genius! Toiletries take up a good amount of the weight allowance especially when going away for a fortnight" and another said: "this is genius especially for those not taking hold luggage thank you!"
