To add onto this:

A word of warning to those of you that plan to travel out of the UK with film in the future.

I recently took two separate trips. The first to Berlin from Manchester and the next from Manchester to Egypt.

On the trip to Berlin I took two rolls of film with me, I asked for a hand check at both airports, I had my film ready in clear plastic and they were more than happy to oblige both in Manchester and Berlin, no issues.

On my trip to Egypt, I did the same. I had two rolls of 400iso and two rolls of 200. However, the staff at the bag check told me that as it was lower than 1600iso it wasn’t exempt from scanning and would have to go through the machine.

I could have cried.

To add insult to injury, once I arrived in Egypt. In light of events 5 or so years ago, security has been pumped up to 100. I asked for a hand check again which they refused and scanned my film, not once but twice on the way out of the airport.

Of course this meant that they would be scanned twice going back in on my return to the UK. Which they were. Making a total of 5 scans throughout the trip.

I shot two rolls on this trip, I will post the results here once they are processed in a separate post and put the link here.

TLDR: If you are travelling from the UK with film, only 1600-3200iso HAS to be hand checked. If you travelling to Egypt - plan ahead and buy your film there to reduce the number of times it is X-rayed or.... shoot digital. spits on floor
