“Handle good and sturdy. Easy to close and open. Also used as make up bag for handbag when on holiday.”
However, not everyone was so pleased.
One disgruntled customer posted: “Arrived and was happy till I tried to separate them.
"They were stuck together and when I did eventually manage to separate them, they were not clear but rather cloudy with a sticky kind of residue on them.
“Not able to use them and so are returning them.”
Someone else said: “It simply does not hold as much as the free bags given away at airports.
“I'd guess it holds about half a litre, not 1 litre.
“The plastic is thick and while it is about 20x20cm, it does not bulge out to accommodate all my liquids.”
Elsewhere, a flight attendant has revealed how you can get an upgrade without having to spend loads.
