Im going on holiday in 2 weeks and as you know in the UK there are restrictions with things you can take on the plane. And since i wear a legbag and i will probably need to drain it what can i drain it into? Im not sure if empty bottles are allowed on the plane? This is stupid its not as if i can get up to go to the bog is it.

Make sure you empty it before you get on the plane in a toilet in the airport. I'd then not drink too much whilst on the plane so you don't pee too much, and then pee when you get off. If you think you might get caught short, then take a "night bag" in your hand luggage and if necessary, just pop out the long tube and connect. Tie the tube tightly afterwards - or connect the inlet to the outlet securely.

Cheers Dave, I think i might not drink much at all before i go. But i think the night bag is a good idea. Cheers
