Liquids.....


Updated policy

As you all know the TSA has changed the regulation for carrying liquids onto flights in you carry on luggage. This is now limited to 3oz bottles, that can fit into a clear bag. You will need to remove this bag and put it thought the screens

For an updated policy check out:

Only 3oz at a time you must use containers that are 3oz or smaller, here are a few ways to find them:

1. Travel sizes containers – in most pharmacies you can buy travel sized containers for everything from mouth wash to soap, shaving gel etc.

2. Filling you own containers – if you already have larger sized bottles or use lotions/soap/gel that can not be bought in a travel sized containers most pharmacies will sell travel sized reusable containers

3. Sandwich bags – an easy way to make one time containers is to put some of your gel/soap etc. into a sandwich bag/small zip lock bag and tie it closed. You can then either access the gell from the top or if you cut to corner use it is a dispenser. The second while easier to sue make repacking harder….

4. Electric shavers – are a good alternative that reduces the need for shaving cream/gel. Alternative is also going “old school” and using a hard soap and brush.

5. Deodorant – beware of the gel/spray they also under the 3oz rule…..sticks are not!

Clear carrying case

A zip lock bag work perfectly here, make sure to keep it easly accessible perhaps in your briefcase.....opening up your roll-on can be a real hassle.
