As a Type 1 diabetic there is a exception that is helpful, 3-1-1 Liquids Rule Exemption TSA allows larger amounts of medically necessary liquids, gels, and aerosols in reasonable quantities for your trip, but you must declare them to TSA officers at the checkpoint for inspection. Remove them from your carry-on bag to be screened separately from the rest of your belongings. You are not required to place your liquid medication in a plastic zip-top bag. If a liquid, gel, or aerosol declared as medically necessary alarms, then it may require additional screening and may not be allowed. Great video by the way!

If your laptop just has a basic sleeve on it then you can leave that on it but if its in a laptop bag or something thick then it will need to be removed from the case.

Depending on which airline you are flying with they will charge you for checking a bag and even more if you need to check a second or third bag or if it is overweight. Typically more than 50 Lbs. You will just need to lookup the baggage fees for the airline you are flying with.

All of those things would be allowed as long as it all fits in your carry-on. You will just have to take those items that are electronic out of your carry-on and place them in the security bins when going through security.

Thank you for the airport guides. I do have a bit of an obscure question and I hope you can help. I'm flying domestic with cremated human remains. Is there any special procedure I need to be aware of for this?
@BenDreamVacations
@BenDreamVacations 2 жыл бұрын
I would carry the cremated remains with you through security. I wouldn’t pack it in a checked bag as it could get damaged. It will have to be x-rayed but If the X-ray operator cannot clear the remains, TSA may apply other, non-intrusive means of resolving the alarm. If the officer cannot determine that the container does not contain a prohibited item, the remains will not be permitted. I would also bring a copy of the death certificate and copy of the disposition permit.

Hi Jessica! You can take solid prescription pills through security. They just have to be screened either through your carry-on or checked bag. If they are liquid gels pills then you must declare them to the TSA agent at screening for inspection. You can bring DVDs and portable DVD players. Just make sure to put it into the tray buckets during security.

@BenDreamVacations
@BenDreamVacations 2 жыл бұрын
Hi Paula, the TSA does conduct random searches even if you have TSA pre-check so yes your carry-on and personal item bag could be checked. When packing meds as well as any liquids and gels be sure to pack them someplace easily accessible just in case the TSA wants a closer look at them. In my experience, the times that the TSA wants to look inside my bag in a pre-check line, it is usually a quick peek and then I am off.
