These rules primarily concern the amount and packaging of your perfume.
Perfume in Carry-On Luggage
If you want to bring your favorite scent with you in your carry-on bag, you must adhere to the 3.4 Ounce Limit: Each perfume container must hold 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less.
- Clear Quart-Sized Bag: All liquids, gels, and aerosols, including perfume, must be placed in a single, clear, quart-sized, resealable bag.
- One Bag Per Passenger: Each passenger is allowed only one of these quart-sized bags.
It's important to note that even if you have a larger perfume bottle, you can still bring it in your carry-on if you decant the allowed amount into a smaller, TSA-compliant container.
Perfume in Checked Luggage
You have more flexibility when packing perfume in your checked luggage. However, there are still some restrictions:
- Container Size: Each perfume container must not exceed 0.5 kg (18 ounces) or 500 ml (17 fluid ounces).
- Total Quantity: The total amount of liquids, gels, and aerosols per person cannot exceed 2 kg (70 ounces) or 2 liters (68 fluid ounces).
While these limits are less strict than those for carry-on luggage, it's crucial to pack your perfume securely to prevent breakage. Consider using bubble wrap or placing it in a protective case.
Tips for Traveling with Perfume
- Buy Travel-Sized Bottles: Many perfume brands offer travel-sized options that perfectly fit the 3-1-1 rule.
- Decant Your Perfume: If you prefer to use your favorite fragrance, transfer a small amount into a TSA-approved container.
- Pack Carefully: Whether in your carry-on or checked luggage, pack your perfume securely to prevent leaks or spills.
- Consider Duty-Free Purchases: You can buy perfume at duty-free shops after security checkpoints. These purchases are generally exempt from the 3-1-1 rule.
By following these guidelines, you can confidently bring your favorite perfume on your next flight. Remember to check the latest TSA regulations before your trip, as rules can change.
