What are the latest rules on carry-on luggage? Is it okay to bring shampoo, etc. again?

Question

I'm travelling for work for 4 days to 3 different cities - it will be much easier to carry-on my luggage than check it but are moisturizers, shampoo, prescription drugs, etc. allowed again?

Answer 1

All of the above listed items are allowed on the aircraft in your carry on luggage. You will have to bring small amounts though, they need to be 3 oz or less and they all need to fit into 1 qt. zip lock bag. If you do ended up with checked luggage they do not need to be in the smaller amounts. As far as the medicine, you are allowed prescription meds. but they must be in the original packaging with the name on the prescription matching exactly to the name on your ticket. For the complete list of information you can go to the TSA website http://www.tsa.gov/

Hope this helps and have a great trip!

Answer 2

are u going through customs at all? that will matter.
i just travelled to mexico and the new rules regarding carry-on luggage is that all liquids/gels must be in container no large than 100ml and these containers must all fit into a 1L sized plastic zip-up baggie. no aerosols are allowed in carry-on as well as anything sharp like scissors, lighters...
see regulations posted on-line by the airline that you will be travelling with.

Answer 3

It is very simple. Get ONE quart size zip-lock bag. You can put liquids and gels, etc in that ONE bag (and it must close all the way shut.) Each item must be 3.4 ounces or less. No bottle waters, etc. unless you are packing a baby with you, then you can bring milk or juice (but not clear liquids.)

Answer 4

on your carry bags, no difficulty. yet no longer on your cabin bags. based the place you're flying from and to, some airports enable a constrained quantity of beverages by secure practices - examine with the airport information superhighway website for what's allowed. something you purchase after secure practices is wonderful.

Answer 5

Here's the US Transportation Security Administration's website with their list of permitted and prohibited items: http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/permitted-prohibited-items.shtm If you're traveling into or out of the UK and Europe, the restrictions are slightly different.... metric for one thing, and 100ml bottles (3.4 oz instead of 3 oz in a one liter bag 20 cm x 20 cm (8" x 8") instead of one quart 8" x 7.75").
If you're traveling in the US, I'd go with the smaller size bottles just to be safe, but the metric size plastic bag should be OK. Check the British Airways website: http://baa.com/

Answer 7

For the most up to date information, check with the airline you booked with. With the airline I work for we have.......

Air Canada advises customers to keep in mind revised security measures when preparing to travel.

The limited liquid, gel and aerosol carry-on rules previously applicable at Canadian and U.S. airports, including flights to/from Australia via Honolulu, have been extended to all European Union (EU) airports including the U.K, Japan, Korea and as of March 31, 2007 Australia. Regulations vary from country to country and travelers are advised to consult local authorities for other destinations.

The maximum quantity of liquids, gels and aerosols permitted in carry-on baggage is 100ml/100g (3.4 oz.) per article. These items must be placed in one clear, closed and re-sealable plastic bag no larger than one litre (one quart). There is a limit of one bag per person, which must be removed from carry-on luggage and placed separately in a screening bin at airport security.

Unsealed, open, coloured or opaque plastic bags of any size with liquids, gels or aerosols in containers of any size will not be permitted through pre-boarding security screening in carry-on baggage. Similarly, liquids, gels or aerosols in containers larger than 100ml/100g (3.4 oz) will not be permitted through security screening as carry-on.

Items exempt from the above restrictions include baby formula, baby food and milk for passengers traveling with babies and under and prescription and essential non-prescription medicines.

Please note that passengers on flights connecting via EU countries (including the U.K.), Japan and Korea are reminded not to purchase liquids and gels, duty free or otherwise, on board the aircraft or in the sterile areas of an airport that will not be consumed prior to their connecting flights as passengers will not have access to their checked baggage in order to store these items. Such items will not be permitted through the screening point for connecting flights.

Passengers on flights departing the U.K. are reminded that U.K. authorities allow a single carry-on piece of baggage in the cabin that measures 23cm x 40cm x 55cm. On all other flights, Air Canada allows a maximum of one standard article 23cm x 40cm x 55cm weighing a maximum of 10 kg, and one personal article 16cm x 33cm x 43cm weighing a maximum of 10 kg. More information on Air Canada's carry-on baggage allowance is available at aircanada.com/en/travelinfo/airport/baggage/carry-on.html.

For more detailed information on security requirements, customers are advised to consult Transport Canada (www.tc.gc.ca), U.S. Transportation Security Administration (www.tsa.gov), British Airports Authorities (www.baa.co.uk) or official websites of other jurisdictions.

To avoid unnecessary wait times at the airport, Air Canada recommends that customers check-in online at www.aircanada.com where available, and arrive at the airport at the standard times before departure:
60 minutes for domestic Canada departures
90 minutes for U.S. transborder departures to/from the United States
Two hours for departures to/from all other international destinations
Due to heightened security screening by authorities, it is recommended that customers reduce carry-on baggage as much as possible.
