Can I pack spray sunscreen and spray hairspray or is that considered hazardous?

[ErinInCT]

I'm trying to check in for my flight online and am worried now about the sunscreen I just bought that is the spray kind. I also have hair spray, although it is probably dumb to use it in 91 degree heat. Are either of these considered hazardous items to pack in luggage or carry on?

In a checked bag is fine. To go in a carry on they'd need to be 3.4 oz or less and in a 3-1-1 quart bag. Those spray sunscreens are like 5 oz (or bigger). At least I've never been able to find a smaller one.

That's my problem right now too. I'd like to do carry on only, but love the Neutrogena with helioplex dry touch spray sunscreen. Unfortunately it is 5 oz, so can't go in a carry on. I've used the sunscreen wipes in the past when doing carry on only, but did not like them.

I've packed it in my checked luggage without any problems. I'm pretty sure you can't carry it on due to the 3-1-1 rule.

Due to using ME and not having our luggage right away, I buy travel size sunscreen to use the first day.

You could mail it to yourself at the resort.

Eh, maybe/maybe not. In the OP's case, no, since she's apparently leaving today and the package wouldn't arrive on time. Generally, the post office may consider aerosol containers hazardous and either not allow these products to be mailed, or require special handling.
