Former TSA staff here. This video is 100% spot on. One more thing. if you don't want to get your bag checked, take out your bar soap and place them in bin. The reason is it would be picked up by the x-ray and depending on the expertise of the x-ray operator, your bag could be flagged for additional screening. Please if you have any sharp object (razor, needles) in your bag, take that out to. So many TSA agents have been injured and exposed to all kinds of things while searching the bags. And while I understand how frustrating bag checks came be, please let not forget that no one is comfortable going through your things and you have no idea the many ridiculously dangerous things people have tried to get into the plane. One last thing, if your bag gets pulled for additional screening, you have the right to ask for the search to be done in a private room. Same goes for a pat down.
What do u suggest for beauty professionals like traveling nail techs who need to bring their polishes and don’t want to risk things busting open in checked baggage ? My quart already is full of my bathroom essentials n makeup n it’s not a lot of stuff at all. 😢
@Life With Lani i don't remember seeing a lot if nail polishes in my day so I really don't remember the protocol. But one thing I'm sure of is that it's better to check in your acetones and nail polish removers. Tools should be fine
@teeeff8337 I'll advise you place them in the bin. It's not a procedure issue, but the expertise of the xray operator. If they have a rookie operator who doesn't know what a vape and/or battery looks like, they might flag your bag for an unnecessary bag check. You might want to save yourself the hassle and place it in a bin. If that makes any sense.
@@ray83baby thanks. I actually already came back from my trip. Haven’t flown in 3 years. It was interesting, leaving out of Las Vegas, I asked if I had to take my liquids out because I didn’t see anyone else doing that, and the TSA guy said that at that airport, we no longer had to take our liquids or electronics out. They just scan your whole bag and I had no issues. On my way home from South Dakota, out of (RAP) we had to take our liquids and laptops out. I wasn’t traveling with a laptop, but I threw my vape and phone in the bin with my liquids anyway. Had no issues there either. I guess every airport is run differently now.
Tip: to make room in quart size baggie or liquid bag, lay liquids horizontally instead of standing up. Then they’ll be more room for even more small liquids

I would be super cautious with using the "TSA approved" bags you get in Target or Amazon. I got one a few years ago and got through security many times with it just fine. But in June I got that one stickler agent who informed me that it was NOT approved no matter what it claims, because it was bigger than a quart size baggie. He gave me a baggie and said to put into it which items I wanted and I had to either toss the rest, or go back to the ticket counter, check my bag, then reenter security. I lost about 8 items that I had to replace at my destination, and some were not cheap. Not a fun start to a trip. Yes, it might work, just like gallon bags sometimes get through. But is it worth the risk of losing stuff over? Not to me.
Oh no! Sorry to hear that! You are right... it only takes one TSA agent to make or break something. Thankfully, I've traveled to 25 different countries in the past 5 years and it hasn't been an issue yet. However, it can definitely happen. Good reminder.
If you stick to the limit of 1 litre then you can't go wrong! these people online say things that aren't true, they have to fit comfortably into a quart size bag not stuffed in .. so if you think of no more than 10 items or less 100ml each item max size ... get it is not the amount of liquid it is size of the container ... so instead of taking a 50mls in a 100ml bottle get the smaller bottle and only take the amount you need so get small jars, spray bottles, bottles etc and decant into them ..

Powdered toothpaste can be great for traveling. Doesn’t have to go into the bag, and one small bottle lasts a VERY long time! It is surprisingly good at foaming up and cleaning your teeth.
The 3-1-1 Rule refers to three core components that govern how many liquids you can bring in your carry-on bags: Each liquid must be in a 3.4-ounce or less container ("3"), all containers must be placed inside one clear quart-sized plastic bag ("1"), and each passenger is only allowed one plastic bag ("1").

11:47 Not sure if someone already mentioned it but if you're travelling to the USA to/from the USA. Although TSA allows ANY clear quart/1L bag. The UK only allows 20cm/20cm (1L) plastic clear zip lock bags (cannot have any depth). So make sure your liquids can fit in that as it tends to fit not as much. They will most likely make you put your stuff in one of their own and throw away anything that doesn't fit/all the bag to FULLY seal shut
When I reluctantly dealt with the then-recent passing of that law during a Disney World trip I took in August of 2006, this raised personal concerns about the possibility of having to get around the parks all stinky, sweaty, and badly burnt as a result due to the unfortunate reality of toiletries and sunscreen typically being in a liquid state.
Great video. I can't speak for the TSA, but I work as a screener with CATSA (The Canadian equivalent). At 11:05 you mention bringing frozen water - definitely not permitted for us. As a general rule, we consider the state of the item at normal room temperature, so unless it's required for medical reasons, a frozen liquid doesn't fly. As you suggest though, bringing your own (or a disposable) bottle to refill at a drink fountain post-security is ideal.
Interesting! My good friend works at TSA and is the one that told me about this tip, and mentioned they do it all the time. I have personally never done it. Just sharing direct from a TSA agent. 💁♀️
@@JeanieMarie That's useful to know. We don't notice many differences between the screening procedures of various countries, but this could be one of them. That said, it's quite rare we see it happen to be honest, most bring their own empty. Thanks.
You can't drink water bottles on the plane ? My kid always needs a water bottle to drink . Can they be brought in checked bags ? You can't buy water on the plane ?
@@marissamccarthy7999 Yes, yes and yes. There’s just a limit on how much you bring through security, as part of your carry-on luggage, after which you can either purchase as much as you want to take on aboard, or simply refill your own empty bottle at a drink fountain.
If you have any question about the TSA Rules, be sure to let me know in the comments. Also, UPDATE: In response to COVID-19, one exception to the Liquids rule is TSA is allowing one liquid hand sanitizer container, up to 12 ounces per passenger, in carry-on bags. (instead of 3.4oz). Here's the link to the TSA Liquids Bag: amzn.to/3oD6pmM
I’m late to this video I know but I have two questions: 1) when you got to drug stores they usually have mini shampoo bottles and deodorants would those have the measurements on the bottle when you buy them or must you measure them yourself? 2) If you do bring shampoo for a long flight, how would you wash your hair? Like in the bathroom sink or is there an alternative?
Yes the travel size bottles in the stores will have the size on them. Or I'd they are self-fill clear and don't have the Oz on it... but it's from the travel section...you'll be fine on size 😄 If you are wanting to bring shampoo for the flight ...you won't be able to wash it on thr flight. I always bring a dry shampoo with and spray that in my hair when I need to freshing it up, before I can actually shower.
@@nathancramblit7577 Yes, of course! The max size is a quart-sized bag, so anything smaller such as a sandwich bag will be just fine! Have a great trip!
I haven't been to the USA since these rules were in place, but I do know that if you have prescription medication (that's a liquid/gel/cream/paste) can be brought onto the plane outside of the liquids bag in Europe. In some places you can just put them in the security bin, but some airports may want you to put it into a sepate litre/quart size plastic bag.
My tips - have a non-liquid toiletries/misc bag and a quart size one. Once through security, I shuffle things around so one bag is make-up, tweezers, etc and the other is liquids plus soap, razor etc (basically anything I need when bathing). I have a variety of sized bottles. I use more shampoo than conditioner. If going on a 3 week trip I go for the full 3.4 oz in shampoo and 2 oz conditioner. For a weekend I do 2oz and 1oz. I don't like taking half empty larger bottles because it takes up precious space in the bag. I also use old contact lens cases for face creams or serums - anything that doesn't require a full size amount. Shuffle things around like tetris. Zippers are easier to close than the press ziplock. Also the quart size with a flat bottom is slightly smaller in size but you're able to better fill the nooks and crannies.
I have never once put my makeup/liquids in a clear container nor have I ever taken them out of my bag and haven't ever had a problem. I never knew this was even a thing. I knew it had to be less than 3oz but not the rest. The more you know lol.
Very helpful information. However, in reference to the 3-1-1 rule, our family has not found this to be accurate. Every time we’ve flown I’ve struggled with packing efficiently, while still taking all that was needed. I have packed in the appropriate 3.4 ounce travel containers , but have always packed in either quart or gallon ziploc bags, as well as multiple bags in a carryon and personal backpack. I have never had lost anything I’ve packed through security checkpoints.
@@karma_97_ No it won't. It has to be less than 12oz (350 grams). Tsa recommends that you check powders. "Starting June 30, 2018, if you are traveling from an international last-point-of-departure to the U.S., powder-based substances in carry-on baggage greater than 350mL or 12 oz. may require additional screening at the central checkpoint. Powder-like substances over 12 oz. or 350mL in carry-on that cannot be resolved at the central checkpoint will not be allowed onto the cabin of the aircraft and will be disposed of. For your convenience, place powders in your checked bag." www.tsa.gov/travel/frequently-asked-questions/what-policy-powders-are-they-allowed
@savedonlybygrace32 It should be the same across all airports. However, some agents "might" bend the rules if the items are inspected. I would recommend that you put anything over the posted limits in checked baggage. It will save you time and headache.
This makes more sense I don’t see how only being allowed one quart size bag for carry on liquids would work even if they are the 3.4oz size that wouldn’t be enough for my family of 5 for a weeks vacation I could fit my shampoo conditioner my moisturizer and sunscreen and that would pretty much be it and I would have to put everything in my checked bags
You do if you’re going through security in another country. I went through two security checkpoints in Ireland and they made me throw stuff away even though the bag I was using made it through multiple security lines. It depends on the agent and country
I completely wasn’t thinking and I put my newly purchased face washed in my bag to carry on I had to toss the micelles gel wash but the CeraVe I got to drink with me since it is medical! I did not know they just told me. If I had thought of it I would not have brought the micelles gel wash of course it’s super liquify and I’m used to this but I didn’t know about the verve so at least I learned snd got to keep that! Love this video!
I have 15 years of travel experience (national/mostly international) and I did not know of this policy, that being said I have never been asked to pull out the toiletries bag or any other bag with liquids from my carry-on, NEVER! I have carried two bags of liquids inside carry-on and inside my personal bag. The only thing I have been asked to pull out of any of my bags is ELECTRONICS!
@@ThisIsNotRelevant I have travel by air only. TSA has never asked me to pull out any liquid bag while going thru their check up, nor they ever asked anyone behind or infront of me. They have only ask me/and anyone else to take out electronics if We are carry any. I never knew of this 3-1-1 rule for the many years I have travel. I came back from Brazil 5/15/22 and yet again TSA didn’t ask me to take any liquid bags out on way to or back. I was carrying two bags of liquids for this trip as well. One inside the carry on and the other in my backpack 🎒 so who knows 🤷🏻♀️
I think the easiest way to handle the oz. and size situation is leave your bigger stuff at home and when you get to the airport the stores would have the correct size things that will pass. Just get it there.
@@curlygurlxo You misunderstood what the person was saying. You’re not going to be able to bring a full sized product with you regardless. Everything has to be 3.4 oz or less meaning travel sized. The person was saying to leave your full sized products at home and wait until you get to the airport to get the products you need that are correctly sized.
You explained this very well thank you. There a plastic sandwich bags I think ziploc makes them where the are triangular on the bottom so the bad sirs up so there's more room tobetore items. I have used these in the past.
Great video. One point I would make for any travellers going through certain areas of Europe or definitely the UK you can only take max. 10 liquid items in your clear liquid bag. For us its 10 items or 3.4oz/100ml in one single bag.
LISTEN!! this is the most informative video I've ever seen on any topic. You answered questions i never knew i had. Im subscribing just for that reason alone
i just ordered my cute tsa 3-1-1 bag off amazon because of you and thanks for sharing i had no idea some of my items can be a hassle so now ive removed all things and got them properly waiting to be placed!!
@@JeanieMariethe zippered bag was printed with TSA approved during the manufacturing process, it’s meaningless ink. The onus is on you to determine whether the bag is actually TSA approved
This is great, thanks! I have to say, I’ve gotten my bag searched two separate times at different airports for a pack of baby wipes. After that I just automatically pull them out when going through tsa! Pumped about the tsa approved liquid bag! Ordering one now!
Thanks so much for watching! Wow good to know! I always have packs of the sanitation wipes with me...haven't been searched yet from those...fingerscrossed!! Its always stressful getting searched! Happy Travels to you!!
wipes are not required to be in your 3-1-1 bag, even if you brought them and put them in a 3-1-1 bag it could still create a search scenario b/c of whatever chemical composition is in those wipes.
I always have my little plastic bag with liquids in my carry on bag but it’s been years since they have asked for them to be put out on the trays like they used to. Might have something to do with the airport.
It's a lot to take in for the first couple of trips, but after a few trips under your belt, it's pretty easy! You got this! Have a great time at Disney!!
I traveled to Baltimore around April this year and I had all my liquids in my kaboodle, which isn't clear, and I had no issues? At a minimum I had TSA travel size bottles of shampoo/conditioner/ body wash/face wash/toothpaste/ hair styling cream/hair oil and my bag went through security with no issues 🤷🏽♀️ and that's not even considering my makeup bag with travel size cosmetics, most of my liquids were under 2oz. I was only asked to take my tablet out of my personal bag, I did not have TSA precheck at that time.
You have a lot of makeup and perfumes I want to bring with me in my 15 days trip. And I need all my things and I don't want to buy new stuff when I got new stuff already.
so...if you carry the grey liquid bag you will! get pulled and ask to transfer all your liquids to the provided TSA plastic bag. That is not a risk you want to take I love the idea of the grey but it's more than 3-1-1 TSA rule
2 things I wish u went over the size of the carry on Also if that bag is TSA approved then why don't they let us bring a gallon bag... cus that's clearly " bigger" than a quart
Thank you for this. So for a makeup palette do I just find on the eyeshadow palette how many oz it is? Also for like mascara the same do I just need to find out the oz?
Sometimes it also varies from airport to airport as for example I had liquid makeup in the bag for liquids and at the control in Austria they told me that it is not considered as liquid.. so sometimes it is a bit confusing 😅
@@JeanieMarie the TSA rules are the same for the TSA, so US only. Other countries may 'follow' but don't 100% comply - when I left LHR in 2019, my contact lens solution had to go in my 3-1-1 bag b/c they don't consider it 'medical supplies' like US TSA does. in the US, some airports are different b/c of their different interpretation of rules (or just being lazy or bad).
I didn’t know about the quart size bag thing. I’ve never ever done that. I’ve never been stopped at security. I’ve traveled all over. Watch me get stopped next time I travel. 😅
Wow! You answered a few questions I’ve always wondered about that I’ve just avoided doing so I wouldn’t get stopped going through TSA lol. And can I just say, I also think it’s amazing that you’re very patient in the comments, as many people are asking you questions you very clearly addressed in the video. Thank you for this helpful vid! 💕
So glad to help! And yes, I know... Many repeat questions in the comments that I answered in the video,, but glad to assist. Thanks so much for watching. Safe travels to you!
Great informative video. I have one question regarding the empty water bottle: Is there any size limitation for the empty bottle - (what size was the bottle you were holding?) and is a totally empty stainless steel bottle OK or should I buy a clear Plastic or glass bottle - for easier examination by the security staffers? Should I pack my 9 different medically necessary pill medicines (diabetes, blood pressure, etc. pills) in anything particular or can I simply have nine different medicine containers in the original pill containers as delivered to me by Blue Cross - simply loose in my personal carry on - the one I tuck under the seat in front of me (although I am in front 1st class seats on my 4 flights and have no seat in front of me to tuck the bag under.
I use Rosewater as a facial toner. Would I still be allowed to bring it as long as the bottle is 3.4 oz? Asking because you said no water. Thank you for this helpful video!
Just to clarify - you are permitted 3.4 oz for EACH container’s volume. So as an example, yes, u CAN have 3 containers that EACH contain 3.4 oz of liquids. Some people have the misconception that u can only have 3.4 oz _total_ for all the containers’ volumes COMBINED - which, if was actually true, would be such an outrageously pitiful small amount that it would be laughable and probably cuz TSA to be absolutely blasted out online.
I have my first flight in 3 months and I have a questions. As far as carry ons and personal bags. I do understand the 3-1-1 rule. As far as the makeup. I use a travel size liquid foundation, does that have to be in the carry on (clear bag) or makeup bag (semi grey tint clear). Also you said 1 bag. So makeup and the 3-1-1 rule bag as to be the same bag? Lol. I’m sorry. I’m seeing different things from different you tubers.
Any make-up that is in liquid form must be in your 3-1-1 bag. You can put the rest of your make-up in a different bag, but for any liquid make-up, they do need to be separated out from your make-up bag and put in your 3-1-1 liquids bag. TSA allows one 3-1-1 liquids bag per person. :) Have a great trip!
Thank you sooo much ! That answers some of my questions . Soo even those small items apply just for carry on or can I have larger travel essentials inside my luggage?
Larger amounts are allowed inside of checked baggage. These rules are for the carry-on bags which go in the passenger compartment. Anything put into your checked baggage that is liquid, gel or aerosol, I highly recommend that you put it inside one or two Ziploc bags! I did have one item explode on a trip, evidently because of ?rough handling or air pressure changes?
Great video, it's so helpful!!! Can I take my energy supplements (they're capsules) in my carry on in a few bottles? Or should I just put them all together in a little pouch and no bottles?
Yes, if it's gel or liquid-based then it would be considered a liquid. If it's a solid (such as a bar of soap), then no, it would not count as a liquid.
Very informative! It’s been a while since I’ve traveled by air. We usually hit the road. But, question…Can my powdered makeup go into a quart sized bag by its self? Like, can I have my makeup in a separate bag (all powered) in addition can I have another quart sized bag with liquids? Thx 😊
What if I packed a 8oz bottle of sunscreen and 8oz bottle of aloe Vera in my carry on because it is a medical necessity? And no. I'm not traveling with a check in bag. have a doctor's note from my dermatologist and I need that size to last me the duration of my trip.
Thanks so much glad I came across your video. I have a question are you saying that the lotions, toothpaste or sunscreen can be larger sizes in the checked bags?❤✝️❤
What about fish oil capsules? I have a large bottle and in case my luggage is overweight I was thinking to bring in carryon. Leaving early tomorrow and TSA is closed today Sunday
Correct! There is no limit to the liquid amount in your checked bag! Have a great time in Hawaii! Be sure you are familiar with entry requirements to the islands! Have fun!
Great video, but a small tip: limit the music to just your intro. Listening to that song for 13 minutes was excruciating.

it is the container size not how much you put in it...
I’ve flown a lot with my parents and this is my first time going by myself thank you for the video
11:47
Not sure if someone already mentioned it but if you're travelling to the USA to/from the USA. Although TSA allows ANY clear quart/1L bag. The UK only allows 20cm/20cm (1L) plastic clear zip lock bags (cannot have any depth).
So make sure your liquids can fit in that as it tends to fit not as much. They will most likely make you put your stuff in one of their own and throw away anything that doesn't fit/all the bag to FULLY seal shut
This is also my experience, I've found UK airports (and Manchester airport in particular) to be some of the stricktest in all of Europe.
and the UK doesn't consider contact lens solution (and lenses) to be 'medical', so it must go in your 3-1-1 bag.
When I reluctantly dealt with the then-recent passing of that law during a Disney World trip I took in August of 2006, this raised personal concerns about the possibility of having to get around the parks all stinky, sweaty, and badly burnt as a result due to the unfortunate reality of toiletries and sunscreen typically being in a liquid state.
Great video. I can't speak for the TSA, but I work as a screener with CATSA (The Canadian equivalent). At 11:05 you mention bringing frozen water - definitely not permitted for us. As a general rule, we consider the state of the item at normal room temperature, so unless it's required for medical reasons, a frozen liquid doesn't fly.
As you suggest though, bringing your own (or a disposable) bottle to refill at a drink fountain post-security is ideal.
Interesting! My good friend works at TSA and is the one that told me about this tip, and mentioned they do it all the time. I have personally never done it. Just sharing direct from a TSA agent. 💁♀️
@@JeanieMarie That's useful to know. We don't notice many differences between the screening procedures of various countries, but this could be one of them. That said, it's quite rare we see it happen to be honest, most bring their own empty. Thanks.
@@RedKanuck - I was watching a video and a very tired TSA agent was saying ‘and PLEASE don’t bring frozen water’ - poor fellow.
You can't drink water bottles on the plane ? My kid always needs a water bottle to drink . Can they be brought in checked bags ? You can't buy water on the plane ?
@@marissamccarthy7999 Yes, yes and yes. There’s just a limit on how much you bring through security, as part of your carry-on luggage, after which you can either purchase as much as you want to take on aboard, or simply refill your own empty bottle at a drink fountain.
I’m from MN and I’m glad to stumble on this video!
If you have any question about the TSA Rules, be sure to let me know in the comments. Also, UPDATE: In response to COVID-19, one exception to the Liquids rule is TSA is allowing one liquid hand sanitizer container, up to 12 ounces per passenger, in carry-on bags. (instead of 3.4oz). Here's the link to the TSA Liquids Bag: amzn.to/3oD6pmM
If I am bringing a person and a carry on bag. Can I have 2 separate liquid bags?
I’m late to this video I know but I have two questions:
1) when you got to drug stores they usually have mini shampoo bottles and deodorants would those have the measurements on the bottle when you buy them or must you measure them yourself?
2) If you do bring shampoo for a long flight, how would you wash your hair? Like in the bathroom sink or is there an alternative?
Yes the travel size bottles in the stores will have the size on them. Or I'd they are self-fill clear and don't have the Oz on it... but it's from the travel section...you'll be fine on size 😄
If you are wanting to bring shampoo for the flight ...you won't be able to wash it on thr flight. I always bring a dry shampoo with and spray that in my hair when I need to freshing it up, before I can actually shower.
If you don’t have a quart size Ziploc bag or one of those bags off of Amazon can you use a sandwich bag instead
@@nathancramblit7577 Yes, of course! The max size is a quart-sized bag, so anything smaller such as a sandwich bag will be just fine! Have a great trip!
These rules are honestly so weird lol.. I'm so glad I found out about this prior
I haven't been to the USA since these rules were in place, but I do know that if you have prescription medication (that's a liquid/gel/cream/paste) can be brought onto the plane outside of the liquids bag in Europe. In some places you can just put them in the security bin, but some airports may want you to put it into a sepate litre/quart size plastic bag.
My tips - have a non-liquid toiletries/misc bag and a quart size one. Once through security, I shuffle things around so one bag is make-up, tweezers, etc and the other is liquids plus soap, razor etc (basically anything I need when bathing).
I have a variety of sized bottles. I use more shampoo than conditioner. If going on a 3 week trip I go for the full 3.4 oz in shampoo and 2 oz conditioner. For a weekend I do 2oz and 1oz. I don't like taking half empty larger bottles because it takes up precious space in the bag. I also use old contact lens cases for face creams or serums - anything that doesn't require a full size amount. Shuffle things around like tetris.
Zippers are easier to close than the press ziplock. Also the quart size with a flat bottom is slightly smaller in size but you're able to better fill the nooks and crannies.
I have never once put my makeup/liquids in a clear container nor have I ever taken them out of my bag and haven't ever had a problem. I never knew this was even a thing. I knew it had to be less than 3oz but not the rest. The more you know lol.
If you’re going to other countries, you’ll probably have things thrown away. The USA is more lenient than other countries
The music is like what you heard on a 1980s cruise ship or really bad karaoke.
Very helpful information. However, in reference to the 3-1-1 rule, our family has not found this to be accurate. Every time we’ve flown I’ve struggled with packing efficiently, while still taking all that was needed. I have packed in the appropriate 3.4 ounce travel containers , but have always packed in either quart or gallon ziploc bags, as well as multiple bags in a carryon and personal backpack. I have never had lost anything I’ve packed through security checkpoints.
I'm just sharing the rules via TSA direct website! You can do whatever you want, if you don't get caught, good for you!
@@karma_97_ No it won't. It has to be less than 12oz (350 grams). Tsa recommends that you check powders.
"Starting June 30, 2018, if you are traveling from an international last-point-of-departure to the U.S., powder-based substances in carry-on baggage greater than 350mL or 12 oz. may require additional screening at the central checkpoint. Powder-like substances over 12 oz. or 350mL in carry-on that cannot be resolved at the central checkpoint will not be allowed onto the cabin of the aircraft and will be disposed of.
For your convenience, place powders in your checked bag."
www.tsa.gov/travel/frequently-asked-questions/what-policy-powders-are-they-allowed
@savedonlybygrace32 It should be the same across all airports. However, some agents "might" bend the rules if the items are inspected. I would recommend that you put anything over the posted limits in checked baggage. It will save you time and headache.
This makes more sense I don’t see how only being allowed one quart size bag for carry on liquids would work even if they are the 3.4oz size that wouldn’t be enough for my family of 5 for a weeks vacation I could fit my shampoo conditioner my moisturizer and sunscreen and that would pretty much be it and I would have to put everything in my checked bags
Just don't get caught, everything over the allowed limit will be removed and tossed.
Thank you for making this video! This will be my 1st time flying since TSA security restrictions & 1st time flight for my kids
Of course! Happy travels to you!!
Great info!! Thank you! But you don’t have to take out the baggie if you have TSA pre-check and Global Entry! So worth the money.
You do if you’re going through security in another country. I went through two security checkpoints in Ireland and they made me throw stuff away even though the bag I was using made it through multiple security lines. It depends on the agent and country
Exellent job. Four years later an it's still great.
I completely wasn’t thinking and I put my newly purchased face washed in my bag to carry on I had to toss the micelles gel wash but the CeraVe I got to drink with me since it is medical! I did not know they just told me. If I had thought of it I would not have brought the micelles gel wash of course it’s super liquify and I’m used to this but I didn’t know about the verve so at least I learned snd got to keep that! Love this video!
Wow! Interesting, good to know! Thanks for sharing!!
So far the best video I have ever warched regarding what to bring at the airport. Thank you so much!
I have 15 years of travel experience (national/mostly international) and I did not know of this policy, that being said I have never been asked to pull out the toiletries bag or any other bag with liquids from my carry-on, NEVER! I have carried two bags of liquids inside carry-on and inside my personal bag. The only thing I have been asked to pull out of any of my bags is ELECTRONICS!
This would only make sense if you’re referring to any travel that’s not by air, like cruises where they don’t care about liquids...
@@ThisIsNotRelevant I have travel by air only. TSA has never asked me to pull out any liquid bag while going thru their check up, nor they ever asked anyone behind or infront of me. They have only ask me/and anyone else to take out electronics if We are carry any. I never knew of this 3-1-1 rule for the many years I have travel. I came back from Brazil 5/15/22 and yet again TSA didn’t ask me to take any liquid bags out on way to or back. I was carrying two bags of liquids for this trip as well. One inside the carry on and the other in my backpack 🎒 so who knows 🤷🏻♀️
Weird cuz I travel a lot and I have been pretty much asked to pull my liquids bag in all the G5 countries.
Needed a video like this and got even more relieved hearing you say you're from MN so i don't need to worry about any rules that may be different!
I think the easiest way to handle the oz. and size situation is leave your bigger stuff at home and when you get to the airport the stores would have the correct size things that will pass. Just get it there.
But then you'd have to throw it away before flying back since you probably wouldn't use a full size product on 1 trip.
@@curlygurlxo You misunderstood what the person was saying. You’re not going to be able to bring a full sized product with you regardless. Everything has to be 3.4 oz or less meaning travel sized. The person was saying to leave your full sized products at home and wait until you get to the airport to get the products you need that are correctly sized.
You explained this very well thank you. There a plastic sandwich bags I think ziploc makes them where the are triangular on the bottom so the bad sirs up so there's more room tobetore items. I have used these in the past.
Great video. One point I would make for any travellers going through certain areas of Europe or definitely the UK you can only take max. 10 liquid items in your clear liquid bag. For us its 10 items or 3.4oz/100ml in one single bag.
Very helpful video and I’m glad she didn’t go far off track with stories!!
LISTEN!! this is the most informative video I've ever seen on any topic. You answered questions i never knew i had.
Im subscribing just for that reason alone
Thank you so much! Glad I could help! Happy travels!
Hello. What about mascara and cream makeup sticks (concealer, lip gloss, chapstick)? Thank you
i just ordered my cute tsa 3-1-1 bag off amazon because of you and thanks for sharing i had no idea some of my items can be a hassle so now ive removed all things and got them properly waiting to be placed!!
Yay! Thanks for watching and safe travels to you!!
I went to Utah last month and I had my carmax in my purse and I was not stopped .
You got lucky!!
I am baffled! Both of those clear bags are considered “quart-sized” to airports?! 🤯
They are clearly 2 different sizes!
I know! The zippered bag is TSA approved so I won't question them since it has always worked for me 😆
@@JeanieMariethe zippered bag was printed with TSA approved during the manufacturing process, it’s meaningless ink. The onus is on you to determine whether the bag is actually TSA approved
Wipes are considered a liquid. I’ve been pulled aside and told they had to be confiscated because I packed a liquid improperly.
Great video thank you. Going on my first flight in 18 years. This video was so clear and well done. Truly appreciated.
Thank you for being so detailed, ive been searching for for such a video. i appreciate so much
This is great, thanks! I have to say, I’ve gotten my bag searched two separate times at different airports for a pack of baby wipes. After that I just automatically pull them out when going through tsa!
Pumped about the tsa approved liquid bag! Ordering one now!
Thanks so much for watching! Wow good to know! I always have packs of the sanitation wipes with me...haven't been searched yet from those...fingerscrossed!! Its always stressful getting searched! Happy Travels to you!!
wipes are not required to be in your 3-1-1 bag, even if you brought them and put them in a 3-1-1 bag it could still create a search scenario b/c of whatever chemical composition is in those wipes.
I always have my little plastic bag with liquids in my carry on bag but it’s been years since they have asked for them to be put out on the trays like they used to. Might have something to do with the airport.
Good God, no wonder I avoided air travel for awhile lol. But thank you for this info, planning a disney trip soon.
It's a lot to take in for the first couple of trips, but after a few trips under your belt, it's pretty easy! You got this! Have a great time at Disney!!
I traveled to Baltimore around April this year and I had all my liquids in my kaboodle, which isn't clear, and I had no issues? At a minimum I had TSA travel size bottles of shampoo/conditioner/ body wash/face wash/toothpaste/ hair styling cream/hair oil and my bag went through security with no issues 🤷🏽♀️ and that's not even considering my makeup bag with travel size cosmetics, most of my liquids were under 2oz. I was only asked to take my tablet out of my personal bag, I did not have TSA precheck at that time.
You’re awesome! For someone who doesn’t travel much, your video was very helpful!! Thnx!
You have a lot of makeup and perfumes I want to bring with me in my 15 days trip. And I need all my things and I don't want to buy new stuff when I got new stuff already.
Are you checking a bag or all carry on?
What about glass bottles small like the ones from ordinary :( or parfumes ? Thanks fr the video ❤️
so...if you carry the grey liquid bag you will! get pulled and ask to transfer all your liquids to the provided TSA plastic bag. That is not a risk you want to take I love the idea of the grey but it's more than 3-1-1 TSA rule
Thanks for such a direct video! How exactly can I find this ziploc quart bag? Is it the sandwich size?
You can find quart bags at any store. They are slightly larger than the sandwich bags. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for all of the great info. I'm traveling with a carry-on for the first time. Ordered my tsa approved bag.
You are most helpful than TSA 🌸💋
Awe! Thanks so much! Happy to help! Have a great trip!!
Thanks for the tips I have a flight on Friday
What about stick foundation or stick blush/highlighters?
Those are solids :) have a great trip!!
2 things
I wish u went over the size of the carry on
Also if that bag is TSA approved then why don't they let us bring a gallon bag... cus that's clearly " bigger" than a quart
Thank you for this. So for a makeup palette do I just find on the eyeshadow palette how many oz it is? Also for like mascara the same do I just need to find out the oz?
Thank you for taking your time to explain slow and we can understand you very well
Sometimes it also varies from airport to airport as for example I had liquid makeup in the bag for liquids and at the control in Austria they told me that it is not considered as liquid.. so sometimes it is a bit confusing 😅
The TSA rules are defined the same all over the world. But sometimes we get lucky with whoever is working at the TSA...😄
@@JeanieMarie the TSA rules are the same for the TSA, so US only. Other countries may 'follow' but don't 100% comply - when I left LHR in 2019, my contact lens solution had to go in my 3-1-1 bag b/c they don't consider it 'medical supplies' like US TSA does. in the US, some airports are different b/c of their different interpretation of rules (or just being lazy or bad).
What's a quart size? Can you add metric equivalent please that would be very helpful for non-US viewers.. Thankyou..
Hi, just a quick recap question, So I can put as much liquids and creams in my quart sized bag as long as it’s 3.4oz and under?
Yes you got it! Have a great trip!!
Jeanie Marie thank you! ☺️
This is great! Thank you for covering so many "questionable" items.
Of course! Happy Travels!!
@@JeanieMarie is it per item or in total (like all items must add up to 3.4 ounces) ?
Yes. Going to Vegas from Minnesota as well. Very helpful video
First time flyer! Thank you sooooo much!
Of course! Thanks for watching! Safe travels to you and enjoy your first flight!
I didn’t know about the quart size bag thing. I’ve never ever done that. I’ve never been stopped at security. I’ve traveled all over. Watch me get stopped next time I travel. 😅
Wow! You answered a few questions I’ve always wondered about that I’ve just avoided doing so I wouldn’t get stopped going through TSA lol.
And can I just say, I also think it’s amazing that you’re very patient in the comments, as many people are asking you questions you very clearly addressed in the video. Thank you for this helpful vid! 💕
So glad to help! And yes, I know... Many repeat questions in the comments that I answered in the video,, but glad to assist. Thanks so much for watching. Safe travels to you!
Great informative video. I have one question regarding the empty water bottle: Is there any size limitation for the empty bottle - (what size was the bottle you were holding?) and is a totally empty stainless steel bottle OK or should I buy a clear Plastic or glass bottle - for easier examination by the security staffers? Should I pack my 9 different medically necessary pill medicines (diabetes, blood pressure, etc. pills) in anything particular or can I simply have nine different medicine containers in the original pill containers as delivered to me by Blue Cross - simply loose in my personal carry on - the one I tuck under the seat in front of me (although I am in front 1st class seats on my 4 flights and have no seat in front of me to tuck the bag under.
just ordered the toiletries bag on amazon...thanks so much for the Tip...
Awesome! Its so great to be able to travel with more liquids! ;) safe travels!
Great video, you answered a lot of questions I had!!
Awesome! So glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
I use Rosewater as a facial toner. Would I still be allowed to bring it as long as the bottle is 3.4 oz? Asking because you said no water. Thank you for this helpful video!
What's a beg? I guess it's a Minnesota thing...😁
🤷♀️😆
The question is Can we put carry on luggage in cargo hold if we don’t have check in luggage ?
So helpful thanks so much have a upcoming all girls Vegas trip and this was very informative thanks again
Have so much fun in Vegas!! Glad I could help! Safe Travels!
Just to clarify - you are permitted 3.4 oz for EACH container’s volume. So as an example, yes, u CAN have 3 containers that EACH contain 3.4 oz of liquids. Some people have the misconception that u can only have 3.4 oz _total_ for all the containers’ volumes COMBINED - which, if was actually true, would be such an outrageously pitiful small amount that it would be laughable and probably cuz TSA to be absolutely blasted out online.
I have my first flight in 3 months and I have a questions. As far as carry ons and personal bags. I do understand the 3-1-1 rule. As far as the makeup. I use a travel size liquid foundation, does that have to be in the carry on (clear bag) or makeup bag (semi grey tint clear). Also you said 1 bag. So makeup and the 3-1-1 rule bag as to be the same bag? Lol. I’m sorry. I’m seeing different things from different you tubers.
Any make-up that is in liquid form must be in your 3-1-1 bag. You can put the rest of your make-up in a different bag, but for any liquid make-up, they do need to be separated out from your make-up bag and put in your 3-1-1 liquids bag. TSA allows one 3-1-1 liquids bag per person. :) Have a great trip!
@@JeanieMarie thank you sooo very much!!!!!
Nawww when I’m traveling I still put everything in my checked bag except my electronics.
Question, can I bring blush, bronzers or eyeshadow? And how much can I bring of it?
Yes you can, any powderer make-ups in small pallets will be fine. No need to worry about those sizes!
@@JeanieMarie do they check the blush, lipstick, etc or can you not show them it?
They do not, unless they see something suspicious!
@@JeanieMarie thank you! what about an eyelash curler? it’s my first time traveling so i don’t know much!
@@lolamy470 you won't have any issue! Have a great trip!!
Thank you so much 😊 but I’m still confused, so the toilet treats do they go in the a liquid bag?
Thank you sooo much ! That answers some of my questions . Soo even those small items apply just for carry on or can I have larger travel essentials inside my luggage?
Larger amounts are allowed inside of checked baggage. These rules are for the carry-on bags which go in the passenger compartment. Anything put into your checked baggage that is liquid, gel or aerosol, I highly recommend that you put it inside one or two Ziploc bags! I did have one item explode on a trip, evidently because of ?rough handling or air pressure changes?
Thx for the video I ship out tomorrow this told me what I need to do with my toothpaste and stuff
Have such a great trip! Safe travels!
Great video, it's so helpful!!! Can I take my energy supplements (they're capsules) in my carry on in a few bottles? Or should I just put them all together in a little pouch and no bottles?
I would leave them in the bottles, that way if for any reason they are questioned--you have the bottle to show what they are. Safe travels!
Thank you so much!!😊
One time I had an unopened bag of trail mix (the ziplock bag size) and they opened it and searched it .
Thank you for the information :)
Do you know if you can put skincare products (cleanser, toner, moisturizer) in checked luggage?
Yes, you sure can. You can put any liquids in any size in your checked bag!
@@JeanieMarie Oh ok thank you😊
Thank you so much! I’m so excited for my trip
Your video is so helpful! Can you tell me how about the cleansing balm? Do they also counted as a form of liquid under the restriction of 100ml?
Yes, if it's gel or liquid-based then it would be considered a liquid. If it's a solid (such as a bar of soap), then no, it would not count as a liquid.
@@JeanieMarie got it! Thank you so much!
Can u also do a video on how to pack a bunch of perfume bottles in checked luggage ?
Great video, this really me out a lot I am trying to pack smarter. Thank You
Awesome! Glad it helped! Have a great trip!!
What about flat irons ? Hair removing epilators ? Wax machine ?
thank you for this video!! just so I get this right, can each bottle be up to 3.4 oz, or do all the bottles together have to sum up to 3.4 oz only?
Each bottle 😊
Great traveling tip video. ✈ Thanks , so much !👏🏾
Very informative! It’s been a while since I’ve traveled by air. We usually hit the road. But, question…Can my powdered makeup go into a quart sized bag by its self? Like, can I have my makeup in a separate bag (all powered) in addition can I have another quart sized bag with liquids? Thx 😊
powdered makeup does not have to be segregated, or pulled out, you can leave it in your checked bag
What if I packed a 8oz bottle of sunscreen and 8oz bottle of aloe Vera in my carry on because it is a medical necessity? And no. I'm not traveling with a check in bag. have a doctor's note from my dermatologist and I need that size to last me the duration of my trip.
Thanks so much glad I came across your video. I have a question are you saying that the lotions, toothpaste or sunscreen can be larger sizes in the checked bags?❤✝️❤
Correct. Checked bags don't have restrictions on liquids. So any size is fine.
What about fish oil capsules? I have a large bottle and in case my luggage is overweight I was thinking to bring in carryon. Leaving early tomorrow and TSA is closed today Sunday
So All of my liquids, perfumes, shampoos, gels etc. Must be in the shame zip loc ? And must be 3.4 oz ?
Yup! You nailed it! Have a great trip!
@@JeanieMarie thanks 🥰🥰
Your video saved my life! Thank you SO MUCH!!!
wait, that means we can have more bottles of 100ml? i tought it was total 100ml LOOOL what a fantastic video!
Correct! Happy travels!!
Is it each liquid cannot be over 100ml or all liquid add together cannot be over 100ml?
So I could put as many liquids as I would like in my checked bag? Im traveling to Hawaii in December and I want to avoid any issues
Correct! There is no limit to the liquid amount in your checked bag! Have a great time in Hawaii! Be sure you are familiar with entry requirements to the islands! Have fun!
Thank you for the tip on the liquid bag from Amazon. Order two of them one for me and one for my wife.
Yes! Those bags are perfect!! Thank you!! Have a great trip!
So the 3-1-1 rule does not apply if you are putting your liquids in your checked bags?
Correct! You got it! Have a great trip!
