Can I put liquids in checked baggage?
Yes, liquids over 100 ml/100g (3.4 oz) are allowed in checked baggage. Prohibited items are still restricted. Pack gifts and souvenirs with liquids, aerosols, and gels in checked bags, not carry-ons.
Okay, so you’re wondering if you can pack that giant bottle of shampoo in your checked bag, right? I get it! We’ve all been there, staring at our suitcase, wondering what the heck we can bring.
Alright, the short answer is: yes, you can put liquids over 100 ml (or 3.4 oz) in your checked luggage. Whew! I know, it’s a relief, isn’t it? Just picture trying to squeeze all those toiletries into tiny travel bottles. Ugh, no thanks.
But, and this is a big but, you still have to be careful about prohibited items. Think flammable stuff, explosives, you know, the obvious no-nos. So, maybe double-check that your grandma’s homemade moonshine doesn’t violate any obscure regulations before you pack it. Just a thought!
The rule of thumb I always use? If it’s a gift, or a souvenir, and it’s a liquid, gel, or aerosol… think perfume from Paris, fancy olive oil, that weird hairspray your aunt swears by… chuck it in your checked bag! Seriously, it’ll save you a headache at security. I once had to toss out a half-used (and expensive!) bottle of hair gel because I forgot it was in my carry-on. Lesson learned! Don’t be me! Save yourself the heartache and pack those liquids below the plane. Makes sense, right?
