    hings to know about your carry-on bags
    Liquids and Gels

    If you are traveling with any liquid, gel or aerosol items, here are a few things you should remember:

    Customers departing from U.S. airports on any flight may bring carry-on bags through security and aboard the aircraft with trial-size toiletries (3.4 ounces or less) which can be purchased at any drug store.
    Toiletries must fit comfortably in one, quart-size (7.5-inch x 8-inch), clear plastic zip-top bag.
    The zip-top bag may need to be presented separately at airport security so make sure it is easily accessible when you approach the screening area.

    Additionally, beverages or toiletries purchased inside the airport beyond the security checkpoints will be allowed onboard the aircraft.

    If you are connecting to another flight and are required to reenter through a security checkpoint, the regulations outlined above will apply, and no exemption will be made for items you purchased in the boarding area of your originating airport.

    Items greater than 3.4 ounces and/or not contained in a zip-top bag may be allowed on board but must be declared to the TSA at the security checkpoint for screening. These items include baby formula, milk (to include breast milk), baby food, juice, medications and liquids/gels that are needed for diabetic or other medical conditions.

    I'll try to make it easy.

    I put all my liquids, gels, creams in one clear quart size bag and each container holds no more than 3 ounces, including a tube of toothpaste and even lotion.
