Can I take deodorant in my carry on bag?

A. Makeup is subject to the same liquid and gel rules as all other substances — so if you’re bringing liquid mascara, lip gels (such as Blistex) or other liquid- or gel-like items, they will need to be placed in your quart-size plastic bag in 3.4-ounce or smaller containers.

Consider your hair straighteners – or flat iron. These objects might look dangerous, what with a cord that dangles and hot extensions, but you can take these on a plane without difficulty. The same rules might not apply to everything in your carry-on bags.

Pack a tube of solid lipstick in your travel make bag, instead of lip balms and gels, which are restricted in hand baggage. Tube mascara is considered liquid and restricted but solid cake mascara is fine. Liquid, cream or gel eye shadows are subject to carry on rules. The same applies to liquid eyeliner.

“The maximum dimensions for your personal item, such as a shoulder bag, backpack, laptop bag or other small item, are 9 inches x 10 inches x 17 inches (22 cm x 25 cm x 43 cm).

To be on the safe side, stick to the rule: all liquids must be in containers of no more than 3.4 ounces or 100ml, and all containers must fit in a clear, one quart sized zip top plastic bag. You can still travel carry-on only with liquids. A 100ml bottle of shampoo just lasted me approximately 40 showers.

The other answers are correct, but they rely on the assumption that wet wipes are not liquid, gel, aerosol, cream, or paste, without any evidence that the TSA would accept that. As you correctly pointed out in a comment, wet wipes contain liquid. You may transport this item in carry-on baggage or in checked baggage.

All other tools should be securely wrapped (if sharp) and packed in checked baggage. Nearly all liquids, gels, and aerosols, including but not limited to food, drinks, and personal-care items, must be in 3.4-ounce or smaller containers and placed in a single quart-size clear zippered plastic bag.

Bring sample-size (3 oz.) liquid toiletries, including toothpaste—the TSA does not permit tubes larger than 3 oz. in carry-on bags. Consider alternatives to liquids: Bar-soap shampoos and solid deodorants. Antiseptic towelettes.

Travel Tips: 3-1-1 liquids rule. You are allowed to bring a quart-sized bag of liquids, aerosols, gels, creams and pastes through the checkpoint. These are limited to 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less per item. This is also known as the 3-1-1 liquids rule.

Stick deodorant is fine in any size. Well, almost any size… Powders and crystals are good to go as well. Spray, Gel, Liquid, Cream, Pastes, and Roll-On deodorants need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces and placed in a clear quart-sized baggie.

Surprisingly, the TSA allows almost all food items through the security checkpoint, so long as none of them are liquids in amounts exceeding 3.4 ounces. This means you can even bring pies and cakes with you through the checkpoint—though they will be subject to additional screening.

“[Airport security] can and will confiscate the bottle.” Passengers are allowed to take all their medications (including liquids, pills, and other supplies) on the plane, but they must be screened and checked at a security checkpoint. You must place the bottles in a carry-on, quart-size plastic bag.

Any electrical items need to have enough charge for you to turn them on. Lithium batteries must be carried in your hand luggage (this usually means your phone and your laptop). You can also take hairdryers or straighteners, electric shavers, travel irons and e-cigarettes in your carry-on luggage.

Turns out there’s no real reason for all the liquid paranoia. According to the TSA, most makeup has been pretty much kosher since 2010: Powder makeup is fine. Common-size facial cosmetic and medicinal products in a tube, for example mascara, lip gloss, and lip balm, are not required to be placed in the one-quart bag.

The only kind of curling and straightening irons you have to be concerned with are the types that take a butane cartridge. These are only allowed in your checked baggage, as long as you only have one and a safety cover must be over the heating element. This type of iron is not permitted in your carry-on luggage.

Carry-on bag. The maximum dimensions for a carry-on bag are 9 inches x 14 inches x 22 inches (22 cm x 35 cm x 56 cm), including handles and wheels.

If you do take liquids in your hand luggage:

containers must hold no more than 100ml.

containers must be in a single, transparent, resealable plastic bag, which holds no more than a litre and measures approximately 20cm x 20cm.

contents must fit comfortably inside the bag so it can be sealed.

There are restrictions for liquids/lotions/creams that you can actually bring on board the plane in your carry-on. You can only bring 3 ounce bottles, and only enough that will fit in a quart size plastic bag. The Cologne/perfume, and sun tan lotions will need to go in your checked luggage if bigger than the 3 ounces.

Liquids and Gels. You may only carry on liquids and gels that are in 3.4-ounce containers or smaller. Liquids include toiletries such as shampoo, after-shave, hand or body lotion, mouthwash and liquid makeup. Toiletries often found in gel form include toothpaste, deodorant and lip balm or lipstick.

Non-Liquid Cosmetics. Other types of non-liquid makeup, such as lipstick, powders and blushes, are allowed in your carry-on with no limits. You may also carry on solid lip balms with no restrictions; however, gel lip balms are subject to the rules for carrying on liquids.
