Customer Travel Advisory
The Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security has determined that there is a high risk or terrorism against U.S. civil aviation, and the need for extra restrictions to assure the security of air travel.
The following restrictions apply to liquids, gels and/or aerosols at the passenger screening checkpoint:
- No liquids, gels, and/or aerosols are permitted through the passenger screening checkpoint into the sterile area except one clear transparent resealable 1-quart (1 liter) size plastic bag, which may contain liquids, gels and/or aerosols in travel size containers (3.4 oz. / 100 ml) capacity or less per container. The contents of the plastic bag must fit comfortably and the plastic bag must be completely closed/sealed and subjected to x-ray inspection separate from the passenger’s carry-on bag.
- You may have the items listed below, but you must declare them to TSA at the screening checkpoint if they are not contained in a clear transparent resealable 1-quart (1 liter) size plastic bag and/or the size of the containers exceed travel size (3.4 oz. / 100 ml).
- Baby formula/milk (to include breast milk), and baby food/juice in containers if a baby or small child is traveling
- Medications (liquid, gels and/or aerosol)
- Liquids (to include juice) or gels for diabetic or other medical needs
- You may be subjected to secondary screening if you enter the screening checkpoint with liquids, gels, and/or aerosols on your person or in your carry-on bag.
- All other liquids, gels and/or aerosols that are not otherwise restricted may be transported in checked baggage.
- Liquids, gels, and/or aerosols include beverages, shampoo, suntan lotion, creams, toothpaste, hair gel, hair spray, and other items of similar consistency.
Liquids (including beverages), gels and/or aerosols purchased in the sterile area, to include Duty Free items, may be carried onboard the aircraft.
Passengers should travel light and have minimal clutter in their accessible property/carry-on to expedite the screening process. For more information, visit
