Another tip for necessary liquid bottles is to hold upright, and squeeze them in a little to remove some of the air inside. While still squeezing, reseal the lid. - Most liquid leaks occur due to reduced cabin pressure at altitude. The air inside the plastic bottle or tube expands, the lid pops open, and the liquid leaks out. - If some of the air is removed pre-flight, the container will simply expand to it's normal size. - If in doubt, use a little cellotape as an extra precaution.

for that toiletry bag, is it fine to use on carry on? I've always traveled with my liquids in a clear ziploc but I noticed they are never too strict with that so would this bag work well in a carry on?

If your makeup wipes dry out, all you have to do is wet them and they'll work fine. The same as the ones that start out dry.

Tip for makeup remover: use a ziplock with cotton rounds, soak w/remover. Doesn't count as liquid. (Just don't use to much). I also freeze a water bottle (half full). It will pass through TSA if it's solid. Then top off afterwards. Cold water !

@lindaward5376 24 күн бұрын

Here in Canada, frozen items that are normally liquid at room temperature are subject to liquid restrictions unless required to treat an injury or to refrigerate breast milk, baby formula, juice or water carried for children, or essential medications like insulin, so please check the regulations and exemptions at your destination.

Do you find that you can keep under the weight limit for carry on travelling with all those things plus clothes? In Australia they are super strict with carry on and often weigh it at check in. We are only allowed 7kg so it always amazes me that people can travel that lightly?

Not a shampoo bar, but I sometimes bring a facial soap bar cleanser. If it's still a bit wet, I'll blot it with a tissue and ensure the case or bag is dry before transporting it. I should think of cutting it into smaller pieces as a hack for future trips.

Would it make sense to pack our bar/hard toiletries (powders, eyeshadow, shampoo bar) into our carry-on suitcases, and place the liquid toiletries in the transparent bag in our personal item/bag for easier presentation? Do we have to present out hard toiletries in the quart bag too?

@alysmalls Ай бұрын

Yes, that's what I do. All liquids in the clear quart bag, any non-liquid toiletries can stay packed. I just published a new video which explains the process of packing my toiletries a little more clearly: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b9qporB53Lu0qZ8.htmlsi=rWeSGuHVSSeDis4S

I don’t understand how u pack that hanging bathroom pack in your carry on when there were so many liquids in it. Did you keep the liquids outside in your ziplock bag before? And what about sun screen lotion? And let’s not forget - mens razor blades. How u packing them?

Razors go in the toiletry bag no problem. Once I'm in my hotel I place my liquids into toiletry bag so it's all organized

So security does not check your carry on for liquids? You can put more than the limited amount that goes in a baggie, in your carry on?

OK guys I have a question. So I have the same travel bag that this young lady has in her video in one portion I have like my skin care, mouthwash, and toothbrush, the second compartment I have body care stuff. Total I would have nine bottles and TSA stopped me this morning. Remind you all of this was in my carry-on bag, so I wasn’t sure why they even stopped me. Now I will say this I did not have my liquids in a quart size bag. They went ahead and let me go through. But I just didn’t understand, so should I have all of the liquids together in the quart size bag and then put it inside the travel toiletry bag?

@alysmalls 4 ай бұрын

It really depends on the airport now. Technically, you're allowed as many liquids containers (up to 100ml/3.4oz) that would fit in a quart-sized bag. Some airports require you to place them in this bag separate from your main toiletry bag as you go through security. Lately, it seems this isn't the case in many airports, or it depends on the airport/TSA agent

Does anyone have a tip for contact solution? I have to use a very specialized solution that no longer comes in a travel size. The normal size is 3.5oz. :( I'm wondering if I can put contact solution in a travel size pouch??? Has anyone done that? My obvious concern is contamination. Thanks for any ideas!! Oh, and my vision is really bad, so glasses aren't an option for me. Thanks!

@makeupunlimited 4 ай бұрын

can the dr write it as a prescription? then it's medical need and won't count against your liquids

@rutht-jj1zp 3 ай бұрын

My contact solution also is 3.5oz (105ml) and can’t find it in travel size anymore. But my eye doctor does have trial size bottles, so I just go in and ask if I can please have one for my upcoming trip. The bottle is much smaller (30ml) but it lasts at least two weeks. So maybe your eye doctor might have a trial size of your contact solution.

@rutht-jj1zp 3 ай бұрын

Update to my previous reply: another KZfaq channel had a video about medical items. Contact lens solution is considered medically necessary, so if your bottle is larger than 3.5oz, you can put it in a separate bag from your quart size liquids bag and declare it whenever you go through security.
