carry on luggage questions

[rickysgirl]

I know that the maximum size liquid that you can carry on is 3 ounce BUT if I wanted to take perfume that is in a 3.4 ounce container and it is about 3 quarters full will they allow it? I've never attempted this before and wondered if anyone has any experience with this.

thank you in advance

The maximum amt is actually 3.4 oz (or 100 ml). So you are fine. However for future the container has to be 3.4 oz or less. So if you have a 5 oz bottle o lotion that is half used it still will not be allowed. Don't forget your quart size bag and have fun

Doesn't matter if larger bottle is only partially filled. TSA's policy on this is that their agents are not able to measure the liquid to make sure it is 3oz or less. So you will be risking them throwing your bottle away.

I normally don't take perfume to WDW. Once you slather on the sunscreen, the perfume is pretty much overwhelmed. Plus, I hate wasps and bees and do not want to give them any reason to fly around me. And, with so many people now sensitive to perfumes, I try to think about them as we are standing in tight queues.

3-1-1 for Carry-ons
Share on email Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on linkedin Share on digg Share on delicious Share on reddit Share on stumbleupon Share on google_plusone_share
Liquids, aerosols and gels, in limited quantities, are safe to bring aboard an aircraft. Each traveler is allowed one bag in order to limit the total volume of liquids, aerosols and gels. Consolidating products into one bag and X-raying them separately from the carry-on bag enables security officers to quickly clear all items.

3-1-1 for carry-on luggage = bottle of 3.4 ounces (100 mg) or less (per volume); 1 quart transparent plastic bag hermetically sealed; 1 bag per passenger placed in the inspection container. One quart size bag per person limits the total volume of liquid that each passenger can carry. The 3.4 ounce (100 mg) container size is a security measure.

Be prepared. The line of passengers will be delayed each time TSA inspects a carry-on baggage, Abiding by the 3-1-1 application will guarantee a fast and easy experience at the checkpoint.

The 3-1-1 application is for short trips. If you are in doubt, place liquids in checked baggage

Declare larger liquids. Medications, milk and food for babies, and breast milk are allowed in reasonable quantities exceeding the three ounces (100 mg) and are not required to be placed in hermetically sealed bags. Declare these items so that they are inspected at the checkpoint. The officers may open these items to carry out additional inspections.

This is copied right from the TSA site. It's just the way the metric system works with our stupid measurements. 3.4 oz = 100mg.

Per the TSA.

3.4 ounces (100 ml) is the largest permissible container in your carryon luggage 3-1-1 bag.

The big issue is if the container is too big to fit into the baggie. I know from personal experience that 3.4 oz of perfume can actually be in quite a large bottle that I would have a hard time putting into the baggie, let alone putting anything else in there.
