Carrying gels on aeroplane

Does anyone know whether it's OK to take a couple of gel sachets through airport security, if I put them in the see-thru plastic bag with my toiletries?

Yes its fine in the plastic bag. I've taken them before no problems. Going anywhere nice?
As long as they don't individually exceed 100ml - and I think there's a limit that all your little sachets and other liquids in your see-through bag don't come to a total of 1 litre... but only 90% of that particular figure.
There is indeed a one litre limit in total. My OH had to ditch some stuff on our last trip, as security took his luggage to pieces.
That is the downside of travelling hand-luggage only!
As Wilkie said - make sure that you don't exceed 1 litre and I'd recommend using the right size bag as I've been told off once or twice for that.
I normally split out toiletries amongst the people I'm travelling with if its too much (e.g. Shower gel/gels etc)
Thanks for encouraging and practical responses everyone. My partner just treated me to a Madrid trip in April. It'll be two weeks before the London Marathon so I will be needing to do a longish run some time while we're out there. At some point I was going to post a separate thread on suggesting running routes in Madrid. But if anyone has any suggestions at this point I'd be very happy to hear them
This is 2 weeks before London if you need a longish run. Just tag on a bit extra if you need more mileage.
Thanks TPF for the link to the Madrid Half. I didn't spot your posting then saw it today - and guess what, it was five hours before the discounted pre-booking offer closed. So I booked just in time, and am hugely looking forward to it. Thanks again and a happy new year.
