With all of the new safety regulations for carry-on luggage, as a traveler, you now have to be even more meticulous and prepared in your packing than in the past. Making sure that you package your liquids correctly and according to TSA standards is particularly important, to ensure that you get through security without any problems and with everything that you need to enjoy your flight and trip. Having the appropriately sized containers prepared ahead of time can make your travel planning and process even simpler.
Instructions
- 1
Purchase a set of 3.4 oz. (or smaller) plastic bottles, meant to hold shampoo and other liquids. Additionally, it may be helpful to purchase items such as body wash, mouthwash, toothpaste and hair gel in the available 3.4 oz. or smaller sizes.
2Rinse each of the empty, plastic toiletry containers with soap and warm water. Dry them thoroughly.
3Decant the large quantity toiletries, or other liquids and gels that you're planning to take on your trip, into the 3.4 oz. containers. Wipe off any spills or drips.
4Write the names of the liquids or gels on the white labels, neatly with the marker. Allow the marker to dry for one to two minutes, so that it will not smudge.
5Stick the labels on the corresponding containers. Smooth them to make sure that they are securely attached and are unlikely to come off during your trip.
6Place the filled, 3.4 oz. bottles inside the plastic bag. Place the additional, prepackaged 3.4 oz. toiletries in the plastic bag as well. Position the items so that they lie as flat and evenly as possible. Close the bag. Check to make sure that it is sealed completely and will not leak. Toiletries that do not fit in this bag will likely not be allowed through security.
7Pack the plastic bag that contains the liquids last, so that it is on the top of packed suitcase items. This way you can easily take it out at the security check point. The items are also less likely to be squeezed by weight on top of them and are less likely to leak or break.
