I’m a shopping expert and I’ve found the ultimate airport hack that’ll let you carry on toiletries and save you money
CARRYING on cosmetics on flights can be a nuisance for many, either you spend a fortune at the airport stocking up, or you have to pay to put suitcases on hold.
Luckily for shoppers, we’ve found the ultimate trick that’ll let you carry on cosmetics over 100ml, without breaking any rules.
- Click and collect at Boots – click here
This clever trick will see you not only save money, as you won’t pay inflated airport prices, but you’ll also be able to save space in your luggage – and won’t have to resort to checking a bag.
But what is this nifty trick? It’s none other than Boots’ Click and Collect service.
Boots has a store in every major UK airport including Heathrow Airport, East Midlands Airport and many more, with their click-and-collect service available at all.
You simply put your order in at least five days before, choose your Boots airport (at the right airport and terminal), and then collect once you’re past the security gates.
As you’re past security, you’ll be able to take more than 100ml, and you’ll be able to shop all Boots deals and products, without paying a premium at the airport.
Again, as you’re past security this Duty-Free shopping won’t count as luggage – however, we’d recommend you check individual flight rules on baggage so you don’t get caught out.
Just make sure to choose the Boots store located after the security at check out.
Floss Walton-Bateson, Managing Director of Travel Stores at Boots said: “We understand that the run up to a holiday or organising a day out with the children can be hectic and we’re delighted to be able to help customers enjoy a stress-free start to their Summer plans.
“Our travel stores have an unmatched range of holiday essentials, from travel adaptors to baby products and sun cream, and with over 800 products per month included in Boots Price Advantage, customers can enjoy great savings.
“Plus, all of our travel stores offer the much-loved Boots Meal Deal, with over 4 million bought in 2022 to keep customers satisfied as they travel.
“The Click & Collect service is such a great way to save time, packing space and stress. It feels like a secret hack that everyone should know about!”
Whether it’s saving on sun-cream, stocking up on formula or last-minute toiletries, ordering your Boots shop in advance is the ultimate hack.
I recently tested it out on a trip to Barcelona last month, and it made the whole process much easier – and my bag much lighter.
