We travel and normally check at least one bag. But this year we have several trips planned, some long weekends, but no non-stops are offered when our time frame is. We are wanting just to carry on, so each one roller bag, then some sort of personal bag.
Here's the first question..
We have a friend that travels weekly and he has a rolling Garment bag that he carry's on, and I have seen these going through security and getting on the plane. I have thought is that allowed? It looks like a regular garment bag ( think a tux's bag but sturdier more structured) it has a solid bottom and top and wheels and pull up handle with shoulder strap. It would lay flat to pack then folds in half, and has some kind of zippers to secure. It looks like a oversized lap top, computer bag. He carries this and a traditional style wheelie carry on. I know that the measurements are larger than the typical carryon, he said it doesn't matter it the total square measurement that counts. I just saw a man when I was leaving New York with one, he put the garment bag over the shoulder and rolled the other right on the plane.
Anyone know if this type bag is allowed?
Next questions,
What is consider a liquid? shampoo/ conditioner which is really a cream and does not pour out only when the tube is squeezed. Bath shower gel?
What about cream makeup in a jar or tube? and the gel type moisturizer?
Toothpaste gel ~ paste?
The reason I asked this as when going through security they made my friend throw away her gel toothpaste but my regular toothpaste was fine. They were both the travel size? Also the lady in front of us they made her throw out her shampoo and conditioner in a tube while over the size limit, the shampoo/cream ( John Frieda) was a cream not a traditional liquid like ( Sauvé), and you could tell that the tubes where not full, the TSA agent said I go by what's on the container..
Last question-
I have very light complexion, so sunscreen is a must, and on top I have very sensitive skin, so I can only use one type of sunscreen, I use a sports spray on... any issue with carrying on full size of these, We would carry on one in each bag.
Final question...really
We have our own snorkel equipment can this be carried on?
Thanks
