Need someones help real bad!!!!

[juicefruit00]

I have read the carry on policy for southwest and it doesn't really help. I know you can't take on razors you have to put them in your suit case. How about Deorant, hair spray, shampoo and stuff like that. I pack all this in my carry on. Is this permitted? Please help, i want to finish packing. Also Batteries? Help????
I am leaving in 1 day and 6 hours and i want to finishing packing. Can someone please help me here?

I haven't had a problem with items that you mention...shampoo, hair spray, soap. Pretty much the rule of thumb is anything that can be used as a weapon. We've put razors, tweezers, scissors, and nail clippers in our checked luggage.

Good luck with packing. Have a great trip!

If the list is of what you can't take, then you CAN take anything that is not on the list

Just remember that it takes a lot longer to get to the plane these days, so it is much easier to travel light! The smaller your carry on, the easier it will be for you. You should zip through security if you just have the stuff you need for the plane. And maybe bathing suits cuz they are hard to replace. Well, for me at least!

This is from the FAA site...

Q. What items are prohibited beyond the passenger screening checkpoint?
A. The FAA prohibits airlines from allowing dangerous or deadly items through the passenger screening checkpoint. Because of the subjective description of dangerous or deadly items, it is the airline's responsibility to determine what they will allow. Most airlines will prohibit items such as scissors, trade tools, and items resembling firearms.

The following are prohibited from being carried beyond the checkpoint:

Knives of any length, composition or description
Cutting instruments of any composition or description, including carpet and box cutters, (and spare blades)
Any device with a folding or retractable blade
Ice picks
Straight razors
Metal scissors
Metal nail files
Corkscrews
Baseball bats
Golf clubs
Ski poles
Hockey sticks

Items which may be transported:

Walking canes
Umbrellas
Nail clippers
Safety razors
Syringes (with documentation of medical need)
Tweezers and eye lash curlers.


So you should be OK with what you want to take. However, remember less is more as there are two chances each way that you may have to have your carry on baggage hand searched (going through checkpoint and before boarding the plane).

Personal care items containing flammable perfume, aerosols, or other hazardous material may be carried on board if each container is less than 16 fluid ounces (473 ml) and the total is less than 70 fluid ounces (2.07 liters).

I think they are allowing those again.
