Navigating airport security can be stressful, and understanding the TSA's policy on liquids is key to a smooth experience. The infamous 3-1-1 rule governs what you can bring in your carry-on. Here's the breakdown:
* **3:** Liquids must be in containers that are 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less.
* **1:** All these containers must fit comfortably in one quart-sized, clear plastic zip-top bag.
* **1:** Each passenger is allowed only one such bag.
Larger quantities of liquids, gels, and aerosols must be placed in your checked baggage. However, there are exceptions! Medications, baby formula, and breast milk are typically allowed in reasonable quantities, but it's always best to declare them to a TSA officer.
Pro-tip: To avoid delays, pack your liquids bag in an easily accessible location in your carry-on. Knowing the TSA's liquid policy beforehand can save you time and hassle at the security checkpoint!
