Woman vows to ‘never return to UK’ after £236 mistake at airport security

Chloe Jade Meltzer, from San Fransisco, has said she will not be coming back to the UK after she had to bin half of her cosmetic due to security rules at London Heathrow Airport

A woman has vowed she would “never come back” to the UK after airport security forced her to throw away £236 worth of toiletries

Chloe Jade Meltzer, 29, was transferring through London’s Heathrow Airport when she claimed to have been the victim of “brutal” rules enforced by the country’s airport security. The travel blogger said she was forced to get rid of half of her toiletries because they would not fit in the standard plastic bag.

Chloe, who was travelling from San Francisco, California, USA, to Cotonou, Benin, West Africa, said: “London Heathrow has a history of losing bags and I could not risk not having my bag. So I had to take all of my toiletries, which were all within the 100ml limit. However, last time I connected through Heathrow, I had the same exact toiletry bag and they allowed me to fill up multiple bags with all of the same toiletries that I had on this day. But this time they gave me one tiny bag and I was required to only fill that one bag.”

Chloe said she had to quickly make a decision and keep her most valuable products. Somehow she lost her glasses during the repack, which are valued at £173. She said: “I had to pick and choose which were most valuable to me and which I needed the most because unfortunately. My connections were pretty quick and I knew I was not going to have time to re-purchase any of the items.”
