Can I bring my backpack on the plane. What about contac lens solution or prep H?

Question

Do I need to bring it all in a plastic bag?

Answer 1

I did this and had my Swiss army knife, scissors and nail clippers confiscated.
A back pack is also too big to fit into the overhead lockers, so its best to make sure all the straps are tied up, os put it all in a bin liner, and let it go in the hold.

Answer 2

Backpack might well be to big to fit in the locker. Don't risk it that they make you check it in woth the checked luggage (you will be without essential items during your flight)

You can carry lens solution in a tiny little proportion to last you during the flight. Yes, it has to be in transparant plastic bag than opens and closes easily.

If in doubt, call your travel agent or the airline company

Answer 3

better to check it :
As of 26 September 2006, passengers may now carry liquids and gels under the following conditions:
Passengers may bring into the secure area of the airport liquid and gel products, so long as the items are carried in a clear plastic food storage type bag with a capacity of no more than one quart.
These would be items such as shampoo, suntan lotion, creams, toothpaste, hair gel, and other items of similar consistency.
Each individual container must have a capacity of no greater than three ounces.
Passengers may not pass through the security screening with gel or beverage containers of greater capacity.
Once a passenger has passed through security screening, they can purchase any size beverage and other liquid or gel products in the terminal and take them on to the plane.
Although the most recent announcement did not explicity say so, it is presumed that previous exceptions to gel and beverage policy are still valid, including the following:
Small amounts of baby formula and breast milk if a baby or small child is traveling.
Liquid prescription medicine with a name that matches the passenger’s ticket.
Liquids or gels for passengers who indicate a need for such items to address their medical condition, including diabetic passengers. Quantities are limited to no greater than 8 oz. (240ml) per container.
Up to 4 oz. (120 ml) of essential non-prescription liquid medications.
Gel-filled bras and medical gel prosthetics.
Solid cosmetics and personal hygiene items such as lipstick in a tube, solid deodorant, lip balm and similar solids. Please remember these items must be solid and not liquid, gel or aerosol.
If you have questions or doubts on about an item, place that item in your checked baggage.
