How-to Pack Toiletries for Airline Travel

The rule for toiletries packed in carry-on luggage is easy to remember: 3-1-1. This amounts to 3 ounce bottles or less, packed in 1 quart-sized, clear plastic, zip-lock bag, and 1 bag per passenger.

Before arriving at the screening area, remove the toiletry zip-lock bag from your carry-on. It will need to be sent through security separately.

If you need to pack toiletries larger than 3 oz. they must go in checked baggage. However, medications, baby formula, and breast milk are allowed in carry-on in larger than 3 oz. containers in reasonable quantities. Declare them when you arrive at the checkpoint.
