Icmeler Online Holiday Forum & Reviews - Turkey

I understand you cannot take through any liquids when checking in for your flight, however can anyone let me know about food e.g. sandwiches etc. Can you take them with you or are you able to buy after security along with drinks and take them on the plane with you. We fly from Manchester on 24th July. Sorry just a little confused about what you can and can't take. Many thanks Jenny.

Hi. You can take sandwiches etc through passport control but any drinks have to be purchased later. Drinks can then be taken on board : much cheaper than buying on plane.
We also fly out from Manchester on 24th : heading for the L'Etoile Hotel. Really looking forward to first time in Turkey just hope we can stand the heat.
Have good hols

Boots airside used to do a deal, Sandwich, drink and bag of crisps for about £2.99, I haven't checked recently.

We take batches from home an buy a couple of litres of water airside.

Dave

Boots still do the deal. That's the good thing about Boots they don't bump the prices up just because there in an airport, the prices are the same as the high street stores.

Steve

Dalaman have introduced the liquid restrictions w.e.f 1st August 2009 so you will have to show your clear plastic bag(20cm x 20cm) with 100ml liquids(not to exceed 1000ml) when checking in and through security.

There is also a Boots at Newcastle Airport which provides the same service without increasing the prices.

just as of the 1st august ?
so before then its ok to take liquid through still ?
xxxx

we had no trouble taking liquids through on Saturday when we came back home.

Sandra

You can still take liquids through until the new restrictions come in to force from 1st Aug

I usually take a sandwich or two when leaving Icmeler for Dalaman, but I have never done it in Cardiff on my way to Dalaman.

I think I will start to take a sandwich for us on the plane, as this year we spent a fortune on the plane for a sandwich and a packet of cheddars! Not mentioning what I paid for my vodka, and Phills lager and brandy

We take ham and pease pudding stotties. Perfect

who?!

Erik I think your ancestors will have had the stotties.Known as Stotty Cakes they are basically flat bread rolls...quite large and substantial...for Geordies and Vikings.Pease pudding is made from yellow split peas that are boiled and taste even better if ham stock is added to them before they are mashed up.The ham is traditional boiled ham,sliced and put in the stotties with one half of the stotty liberally coated with pease pudding.As in the rhyme.....pease pudding hot,pease puding cold,pease pudding in the pot...nine days old....not really....they would get shut down for that.But traditional geordie fare well worth having!

thanks!

sounds filling. and messy!

i love the different fayre over the uk and the funny names...trying to imagine vikings unwrapping their pea and ham roles!!

I should have been more precise - stotties from Gr***s (no advertising!), ham and pease pudding from the Grainger Market! Nothing else will do.

shieldfield would that be scotch corner in the grainger market? best pease pudding going!

If I'm saving for holidays abroad I can't afford Scotch Corner!

A late comment from me about Stotties. On our recent visit we found the "village bread" is almost identical to the proper Stottie. Shape, texture, flavour and colour are the same as the ones from Gr**gs. (Not to be confused with the big buns sold at most supermarkets and other bakeries as Stotties)
So, if you want to know what a Stottie looks and tastes like get some "village bread" - available in almost all the "supermarkets" and shops in Icmeler. And if you're a Geordie on holiday and feel homesick you know how to cheer yourself up.

Most Geordies I know are on cloud nine now that their team are back in the Premiership.
