Incidently who needs shampoo on the plane?

The media has been making a big deal out of no longer being able to
carry shampoo on the plane.

Q. Just why the hell do you need shampoo on the flight? Last I flew
there's no way I could even if I wanted to wash my hair in the toilets
so the idea of taking shampoo on the flight is completely bunk anyway.

You stupid ass.

Ever heard of flying on a business trip for a day or two with a small
carry-on bag, with your shaver, toothpaste, deodarant, and ****ing
small bottle of shampoo?

Maybe you take that **** with you as carry on because it's small, and
because you are landing at 11 pm after 1 or 2 plane changes and you
don't want to be ****ed off at having your checked bags not make it so
everything is carry on.

Not everyone that flies is some ****-ass peon familiy that hasn't
flown in 10 years or some short fat white middle-aged housewife who
thinks all these new security measures are great.

I usually carry a change of underwear and a shirt, plus shaver and other
toiletries in my carry-on in case the airline loses my checked bag, or I
get stuck somewhere because of a weather delay. It has come in handy more
than once.

With the current ban, I would have to find such things as contact lens
solution, which most hotels don't have behind the desk, and without a car,
if there isn't a drug store within walking distance, I'm screwed.

Can't afford a taxi, and won't take public transit?

Often I get to hotels late in the evening.

Once, I needed some things, and no nearby stores were open. To get to one
that was took an hour by taxi to get there, shop, and get back to the
hotel. Not something I really want to do when I get to a strange city at 11
pm. Transit was also out of the question at that time of night.

That would not have worked very well the last time I was in London. I
arrived at my hotel on Sunday night, and it seemed that all of the
shoppes were already closed. Without knowing the location of an open
merchant, your suggestions are not at all helpful.

The OP's concern was "walking distance," not closure. I admit that
store closure would be a serious problem... if your checked luggage
was "delayed." In that instance, I advise not leaving the airport w/o
seeking assistance from airport personnel... or checking the trash
near the security gate. :-/ =R=

On long haul flights, I often/always wash my hair on the aircraft as
well as a washcloth cleaning of my body. (usually before they wake
everyone up so that the toilets are not busy yet).

Also, consider those who use the soap/toothpaste/shampoo when they use
shower facilities at airport between 2 flights.

Yeah, that one puzzled me, too. You couldn't wash your hair in those basins,
and I cannot imagine why you'd want to (I fly across the pacific every year,
and like a wash-up at various intervals, but not my hair).

what is a concern is, no moisturiser or lip balm. The latter will be a
serious problem for me. 13 hours with no lip stuff will be very painful
indeed.

Public transit, in a strange city, is seldom an attractive prospect. Not
until you've got time to work it out.
