If you're traveling by air you would need to know about the TSA liquids rule also
known as the 3-1-1 rule this pertains to liquids that are packed and carry-on
luggage this does not pertain to checked bag luggage so if you're planning to
travel with only like a carry-on handbag then you need it stick around and watch
this video and if you are new to my channel my name is Jeanie I am a travel
agent in Minnesota I invite you to subscribe and follow along for all
different travel tips, advice, inspiration and travel lifestyle though I'm a big
component to traveling light I only travel with a carry-on with plenty of
trips under my belt and dealing with airports a lot I've really had to master
this TSA rule so I might be answering the most common questions to the TSA
liquids rule and the power rule because there are no limits to the different
types of containers that can be brought with you on a flight and don't worry it's
really not as hard as you may think it's actually really easy once you understand
it but you might have a few things that pop up like is this the right size
container? is this a liquid or is this considered a solid? so we're going to go
through all that today and be sure to stick around to the end of this video
because I'm going to give you a little tidbit on something that you can do to
allow yourself even more liquid than you might be able to fit into a quart
sized bag but okay so what is the 3-1-1 rule? the three stands for all
liquids that you plan on bringing with you and your carry-on must be under 3.4
ounces or 100 milliliters so all bottles must be under 3.4 ounces or less and
that's going to be for all liquids creams aerosols and gels so anything
that is fits into those descriptions that's gonna fit in the 3-1-1 rule what that
means that all of your 3.4 ounce bottles must fit into one quart size clear bag
one that means that all people are allowed one bag each 3.4 ounce bottles
in one quart size bag and one bag per person so make sure that this bag is
easily accessible because you will have to pull this back out once you can do
the security checkpoints and put it in the bins for scanning is your luggage go
through the scanner and those liquids moving around in there and you don't
want your little baggie they're gonna search your bag they are strict with the
rules make sure everything is in your quart sized bag everything's sealed
tight and you're 3.4 ounce bottles and you only have one bag and you will be
fine now if you have items that are larger than at 3.4 ounces and you have a
check bag bill was have to go in the truck bag so anything over 3.4 ounces
must go in a check babe you cannot bring anything through that's over 3.4 ounces
there is not a specific number of how many models you can put in your bag
there is no limit as long as they're in the correct size bottles and you can fit
as many bottles in this bag as you possibly can
but again sticker on to the end because I have a little tip autonomous TSA only
allows one bag per person so if there's anything that is over 3.4 ounces and or
you cannot fit it into that bag that needs it on your check luggage so if
you're checking luggage you can put any size liquids in the check luggage but
not for carry-on luggage so if you plan on only traveling with a carry-on you're
gonna have to master this rule be sure to narrow down all your items get them
in the appropriate sized bottles and bags and you will be all set
tsa has now implemented a powers rule so any powders that are under 12 ounces on
those Pingo and your carry-on they typically you won't have additional
screening for powders under 12 ounces for example pant powder makeups and
stuff that you won't have issues with those unless they see something funky on
the screening process of course however if you have more powders such as maybe
you're carrying protein powders or detergents or something that might be a
larger volume than that you can still bring that however they're gonna have to
do additional screenings so if you have any powders that are over the 12 ounces
you're gonna pull it out just like you would your liquids bag I recommend if
it's possible keep it in its original case not know that you will probably
have additional screening and don't be surprised if they compensate it and
you're not going to get that back you can definitely try but it could
definitely be compensated so if you have like protein powders or some type of
baby powders and larger volumes or something and you don't want it to be
confiscated then I would say put it in your chalk bag
they are trying to get people to bring those larger powders in to Chuck Bass
so again if you're only traveling with a carry-on you would have to worry about
that more otherwise just put everything in your truck bag and you should be fine
now there are a few items that are exempt from the liquids rule and that is
medication so any liquids that are in liquid form or paste form or gel form
and if it's over the 3.4 ounces you can definitely take that with you however
you're going to have to pull it out I recommend again you know keeping it in
its original packaging as possible and have the prescription label with you so
you can prove that it is for medical reasons because TSA will have to do
additional running on that medication also
different ice packs are partially frozen items that are required to keep that
medication cold that's okay as well as other items that are medical necessities
that are kind of involved with that would be like IV bags pumps and like
syringes so again yes if it's medical it can be
brought through a security and or over the liquids rule but just know it will
have additional screening and if you have any type of medication that maybe
isn't allowed to go through a scanner be sure to let the TSA officer know that
and they will screen it separately the other exception to the liquids rule is
breast milk and formula again these items just need to be placed separately
into the bin you don't have to have your child with you to prove that this is
breast milk that's not required but it will have to be screened separately if
you have larger amounts of breast milk or formula better over three-point
Barone's so on tsa is website they have a really
great search tool that's right on their website you can go in there if there's a
specific item that you're just not sure what this is really considered is it a
solid is it a gel or what it is however I'm going to just go over some of the
top items that I get to asked about a lot so again be sure to go to the TSA is
a website directly and you can definitely search out other items that
you may have questions about all of your basic toiletry items are allowed on to
your carry-on luggage so shampoos conditioners mouthwash facial cleansers
whatever you know your standard toiletry items those are allowed and you are also
allowed to have a razor and tweezers so again but that is okay to have those in
your toiletry items babe
deodorants come in to ask different types of forms so you got solids you got
the gels and then you got aerosol deodorant if you have solid deodorant
that does not have to go on your bed so if you are one that uses like a gel
based deodorant and or an aerosol then yes you will have to pack it so maybe
for your travels you should maybe think about possibly doing a solid deodorant
and then you don't have to worry about fitting that and taking up space in the
space bar soap is not considered a liquid so you can definitely again like
the deodorant you can put that in your regular luggage
it's as long as it's in a solid form you don't have to worry about putting that
in your felt liquid a toothpaste is considered a liquid because it's more
gel like so yes be sure to put your toothpaste and - your liquids bank I've
done it myself I forgot to put my toothpaste in my bag I was actually in
Paris when this happened and that they pulled me aside and went through all my
luggage pour it completely apart just for my little container of toothpaste
yeah don't make that mistake wet wipes baby white clay Ning white facial wipes
so whatever type of wipes you have those are not considered liquids by TSA so I
can all be packed separately you don't have to worry about putting that into
your TSA bay
yes mascara is considered a liquid when you are traveling so be sure to separate
that out and put that in your liquids bag because it's gel based but that
would apply for the liquid rule and that also goes for any liquid foundations
liquid creams whatever type of makeup that you have that smell
gel or paste form that would have to be applied to the eligible and must go in
your courts I say Salvage chopsticks or lip balms are not considered a liquid
and are not required to go in the bay however if you have a gel based
chopstick such as Vaseline or there's like Carmex I know those come in more
liquid forms or gel forms then yes those would have to go into the liquid Bay now
as I mentioned TSA has a really great search tool if there's an item not
listed on their website that you have questions about you are now able to ask
TSA on Twitter and/or on Facebook so all you have to do is snap a photo of the
item that you have a question about and send it to them on Facebook or Twitter
and they will answer it for you okay so now I'm going to go over some different
travel tips I have mentioned some of these travel tips in my other video
however I managed to go over them again I'm going to go back to toothpaste so
these are like your typical size toothpaste that you might find in the
Travel section area of stores right now these little guys are really small now
you can go by larger sizes of toothpaste they ban toothpaste that is under the
3.4 ounces that are in larger form so you don't have to go spend a dollar on
this little guy when you can go get a large one that is under 3.4 ounces and
that's like maybe a dollar 50 or something that way you'll have more
toothpaste and it will last you a lot longer than those little guys also be
sure to check your different bottles that you have your makeup and our hair
radisson because this is a standard sized bottle for like the terrace room
that i use and this is a exactly a 3.4 ounce bottle so I don't have to condense
this so just be sure to check the ounces on all your products because the bins
you don't have to convince them down into the 3.4 ounce bottles now if you
are like me and you like to have water now remember you cannot bring bottled
water through if it's over the 3.4 ounces however you can bring frozen
solid frozen waters through so you can keep that mine or you can do what I do I
just bring an empty water bottle with me and once I get through security I go to
the drinking fountain and I go fill it up and remember when you're traveling
however be sure that the water fountains in the water of the country is okay and
safe to drink typically I usually fill up in you know USA airports before I get
on my flight and last but not least and my final tip I have for you guys is if
these little quartzite bags are just not big enough and you have a few other
liquids you need to fit do what I do get this camping approved liquids bank there
Amazon the best invention ever look how big this is
compared to this babe so you have look how deep that is it's clear all the way
around you can stop look at all the liquids in this baby compared to this
even though I haven't filled this one up but you can get a lot more liquids and
it's more room to stuff littler bottles in it has a zipper that goes all the way
around so it's completely closed and it's clear so TSA can identify all the
products that are in your bag I have went to Asia Europe throughout the US
yeah I've never had any issues using this so I highly recommend it it's
some bag to travel with and you can fit so many more look within it I have the
link below down in the description you can definitely go check it out they have
lots of different colors of these tears a big so highly recommend be sure to
check that out there you have it you guys I hope this was helpful and I hope
this gets you ready and prepared for your next vacation if you have any other
questions be sure to comment below I am happy to help you and of course be sure
to go over to tsa.gov and check out all the information that they have on their
website lots of great the way is to search for
items that you may have questions about and if you haven't already be sure to
give this video a thumbs up and subscribe for future videos so with that
said we will see you guys next time bye guys
