Guys..More so Girls, going on an International Flight, what can I have in Backpack?

Question

Ok. I'd like to know whats wise to take with you on a flight, going to Europe. Can I take any creams, makeup, facial products to refresh myself with? Or is that the stuff best kept in your main luggage. Do you take a chnage of clothes? Obviously your entertainment things suchas camera, music, books, and documents are best kept in person, but yeah, what about the girly things?
Im aware of things like aerosel cans is a no no, can I have perfume? Smokes? Advice and ideas would be appreciated!

whats 3oz? And by zip lock bag, do you mean to put my makeup etc in a sandwich size zip lock bag, is a makeup bag not permitted?

Answer 1

Just to let you know about the poster above, one quart...heck I'll give you a photo link.....bottles have to be full (meaning not half full) and all bottles have to fit comfortably in the bag....it may only be a ziploc (zipper) bag.....nothing else including what you said and sandwich bags.....again, the guy above gave you the permitted and prohibited list so that takes the load off me....

If you want to take a change of clothes, feel free to. It's a good idea since your flight may get canceled and you may have to stay overnight at an airport hotel.

Though when you come back from Europe, rules maybe different as these rules are setup by each country.

Just came back Tuesday, so I should know.

Answer 2

I don't take a change of clothes except a pair of comfortable, loose-fitting shoes. (feet swell up in flight). Use moisturiser/face cream to combat the dry air. And take lip salve.

Answer 3

You can take all of the above, as long as the liquids/creams are in 3 oz. or less bottles and all can fit in *one* one-quart ziplock bag.

Here's the list of allowed/forbidden items:
