TSA-Approved – These 11 Liquids Are Allowed Through Airport Screening, Regardless Of Size

Surely you have also gotten nervous before a plane trip because you forgot the small bottles of liquids, or you have also experienced how you have forgotten to transfer your liquids and the plane staff has made you throw away an entire bottle of cologne before boarding… We have all experienced it, don’t worry.

Since 9/11, passengers are required to carry their liquids in small containers that do not exceed 100 ml, and that do not add up to more than one litre per person.

According to The New York Post, there are speculations that some liquids will be able to be transported in their original size and container in the very near future. Technological advances could mean that the 3-1-1 rule (which requires liquids to be stored in a quart-sized resealable plastic bag and that no container can hold more than 3.4 ounces of liquid) may be coming to an end.

The New York Post has reported that 3D CT (computerized tomography) scanners used at airports to detect unauthorized liquids could be phased out, allowing personal hygiene products to travel in regular size.

There are already some airports (especially in Europe) where this restriction has been eliminated since 2023. The TSA (Transportation Security Administration) informed its workers that they are hoping that this limit can be lifted in the very near future, but that, for now, they could do nothing.

Are there liquids that I can carry in large format?
Yes, in fact, the TSA has reported that there is a list of 11 products that can travel in original size and are those related to daily use (many of them practically essential for health and well-being).
The list of these items is as follows.

Baby milk: If you are traveling with a baby, you can now carry breast milk or formula in the amount you need without worrying about the usual limits. Water and baby formula: In addition to milk, you can carry water to prepare the formula in mid-flight, something that will really make traveling with the little ones easier.

Liquid medications: Anyone who needs liquid medication can carry it without problems. The TSA recommends having the prescription or some medical document that justifies it on hand in case the authorities do not allow its passage.

Hand sanitizer: This product, which became essential during the pandemic, was already allowed in full size and will continue to be.

Nasal sprays and saline solutions: Very useful for those who need to maintain their respiratory health on long trips, these products can be carried without volume limits.

Artificial tears and eye drops: For all those who wear contact lenses or suffer from dry eyes, this permission is a relief and they will not need a justification to carry them with them on trips.

Non-flammable hair and body sprays: These personal care products (as long as they are not flammable) are also on the TSA list.

Contact lens solution: Essential for contact lens wearers.

Denture cleaning fluid: Now, denture wearers can carry their cleaning products without worrying about volume limits. 10. Creams and lotions (for medical use)

Inhaler fluids: Liquids needed for inhalation devices (for those with asthma or respiratory problems)

Live fish transported in water and other biological specimens.

Freezer or ice packs for necessary medical items (such as vaccines that need to be kept cold)

The TSA says officers can still scan liquids for explosives or prohibited items hidden in luggage, but that, for example, in the case of liquid medications that cannot be exposed to X-rays, there are other ways to examine them.
