♥[?]♥ I'm taking a long flight in a couple weeks and I'm having trouble finding exactly what you are and are not allowed to bring on a plane. Things like knives and scisors are obvious, but they changed some things recently about liquids and gels.
Can I bring on something like deodorant (the stick kind) or toothpaste? Or if I can't bring them on, do they have those things (like little packets of toothpaste or deodorant) on the plane? I've looked on the sites, but didn't find much specifying the different things. Is there anyone here who has recently flown on a plane who would know about this?
Any help would be great! I just don't want to pack something only to have to throw it away when I get to the airport. (I'll be in airports and on planes for almost 24 hours straight)
Different airlines might have different requirements, but as a whole they are all following the same standards.
My uncle is on flight to China this moment, and I am going on a flight in a few hours. I am flying Southwest. I know that anything (with the exclusion of actual fire arms and such to my personal knowledge) can be carried under the plane.
As far as on your carry on, no liquids. No water. No beverage of any sort. No liquid/gel deodorant. No toothpaste. Not even grapes. No licorice. No body spray. No lip gloss. No powerdy substance, such as eye shadow or baby powder. No baby oil. No baby formula. Basically, nothing of a liquid/gel form.
Electronics are allowed. Don't ask me why, because a battery contains a liquid form, but electronics such as a cell phone, laptop and Game Boy will be accepted in your carry on.
There really isn't much restriction, when you think about it. Things like make up and deodorant shouldn't really be in need on a plane, anyhow. Your best bet is to play it safe and stick to snacks such as dry cookies and chips. And pack everything else under the plane.
It might be a bit of an inconvience, but it's done with everyone's best interest at heart.
Here is a list of what Southwest is and is not allowing in your carry on:
