TIDBITS 4 TSA REQUIREMENTS

October 3, 2009 at 9:15 am · Filed under airports, tidbits, travel

This tidbit is 4 you to be able to pack correctly.  Follow these steps and you should be able to fly through security. The TSA requirements are as follows: Note that the FAA policy allows one piece of luggage and one personal item (such as a purse or briefcase) per person. All carry-on bags must fit under the seat in front of you or in the overhead bin.

  • Don’t put batteries, medicines, keys or important documents in your checked bags. Keep them with you in your carry-on bag.
  • If you’re packing for a long trip, be aware of excess, oversize and overweight baggage, and the charges extra charges!
  • Once you have checked your luggage it is difficult to get it back, so please make sure that you do not have anything in your carry-on that will not go through security, The TSA will confiscate it and you will not get it returned to you.

 I have seen passengers have to throw away full bottles of expensive perfumes, creams, shampoos and such… 

Liquids in your carry-on baggage

  • Take a few minutes to learn about what to expect at the airport. Travel size liquids, aerosols and gels are allowed in carry-on baggage if they are in containers that are 3.4 oz (100ml) or smaller.
  • Learn more about TSA policies

       Pack your 3.4 oz. (100ml) containers in a single, clear, one-quart zip-top plastic bag. Empty containers (that could contain liquids) are not allowed; and neither are partially used larger containers. Only one one-quart plastic bag is allowed per passenger, and the contents of the bag must fit comfortably inside.

A few examples that are o.k.

  •  Toothpaste, Creams, Hair products , Sun screen, Mascara/lip gloss 

The TSA liquid policy applies to gift items as well as toiletries.  Ship them ahead of time or put them in your checked baggage.

A few examples that you can NOT take through security are:

  • Jam. Salsa, Snow globes, Liquid soaps, Perfumes. 

Have a great and exciting trip
