Came back from Dalaman airport this morning. As you go in you have to go through scanners and there were a pile of bottles on the side put there by travellers. They didn''t ask if you had liquids and I didn''t see any signs telling you you couldn''t bring them. I had a large bottle of water in my bag plus a couple of other drinks. They were all allowed through, although they searched my husbands bag as it had a small laptop inside and then noted his passport number - we don''t know why. Lots of people seemed to be drinking their own supplies. A can of softdrink was 8 lira in the airport.

I''m glad someone else was puzzled by the laptop thing! I took my laptop back through Dalaman last November and the same thing happened to me: stopped, laptop looked at and my passport number noted on some list. I wondered why at the time. I didn''t mind, of course - anything to improve security - but I just couldn''t see the purpose behind this. Anyone know?

I have also had my passport details written down when with laptop.
Did wonder at the time if my details were noted because I was the only member with a newish chip - implanted passport ???

Curiouser and curiouser.

Thanks - we have been to Dalaman 8 times and were worried when we heard about no liquids policy - don''t really mind about toiletries and stuff just drinks and food for airport as prices are extortionate - last year someone bought a can of coke and a mars bar £5.00!!!

Also last year some of the tour reps were telling you before you left your coach to check in for home that no duty free liquids or cigarettes allowed if you had purchased them in your resort and people were abandoning drinks and cigarettes on the coach - sounds like a scam for the reps to get free drinks and ciggies.  We just ignored them and went through with drinks no probs - would rather get them taken off me than be ripped of by reps! ::)  2 weeks to go - cant wait to be there  :) :)
