A WOMAN has revealed the "biggest hack" that she uses to get a whole bottle of water through airport security.<\/p>\n
Despite the 100ml liquid rule being drilled into most air passengers, there are ways to skirt the strict rule.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
TikTok user Grace, who is known as Gracietravels on the social media platform, recently shared a lesser-known hack with her thousands of followers. <\/p>\n
In the video, she said: "First off, I know a lot of people don't know this, but you can actually take a full bottle of water through airport security, <\/p>\n
"But you can only do this if it's frozen<\/span> because ice is solid and water is a liquid.<\/p>\n "All you have to do is freeze the water before you leave for the airport, and then before you hit security, just drink whatever has melted. <\/p>\n "To me, personally, I think that's the biggest hack ever." <\/p>\n The video has had over 120,000 views on the social media platform, with users jumping into the comments to share their disbelief at the frozen water hack. <\/p>\n One person wrote: "If you freeze the water, make sure it\u2019s not in your favourite water bottle because a security officer may not let it through." <\/p>\n Meanwhile, other users suggested bringing an empty water bottle through security and refilling it at the airport. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n According to the Transportation Security Administration: "Frozen liquid items are allowed through the checkpoint as long as they are frozen solid when presented for screening. <\/p>\n "If frozen liquid items are partially melted, slushy, or have any liquid at the bottom of the container, they must meet 3-1-1 liquids requirements." <\/p>\n Those passengers who are flying from the US should be able to take frozen liquids through airport security.<\/p>\n There are several other tricks passengers can use to get around the strict liquid rules. <\/p>\n Last year, Tiktok\u00a0user Emily McKeon explained how holidaymakers can carry liquid make-up remover and face wash in their hand luggage without eating into their liquid allowance. <\/p>\n She told passengers to put some cotton pads into a plastic bag and pour make-up remover, or face wash, onto them.<\/p>\n The pads will then soak the products up, so there won't be any liquid. <\/p>\n If the pads are kept inside a sealed, airtight bag, they will remain moist, which means you can use them at your end destination.<\/p>\n Earlier this year, one woman was praised as a "genius" for sharing how she skirts strict liquid rules by placing a Boots order of holiday items like shower gel, suncream, and moisturiser. <\/p>\n As she ordered the items, which were all over 100ml, she opted for\u00a0airport click and collect\u00a0– meaning she could pick it up after security.<\/p>\n Not only that, but it meant she didn't have to pay airport prices which are\u00a0often higher than the high street.<\/p>\n Several flight attendants have also revealed that they pack soap,\u00a0shampoo, and conditioner bars because they don't count towards the liquid allowance. <\/p>\n Here are some other clever ways to\u00a0get around the 100ml liquid rules.<\/p>\nRead More on Travel<\/h2>\n
