What Can I Bring On An Airplane?

With security being tightened at the world’s airports due to increased terror threats worldwide, you have probably heard about all of the things that you can’t take on an airplane right now. That may leave you wondering, “What can I bring on an airplane?” Here are a few of the basics:

• All prescription medications. Of course, you will need to store them in a clear plastic bag (along with the original packaging), and check them in at airport security upon arrival at the airport.
• Over-the-counter medications: while you can bring non-prescription drugs on board most planes, they must be carried in clear containers and weight less than three ounces.
• Any liquid or gel item that is purchased at the airport after passing security. While you may not carry and liquid or gel item onto a plane from home, you may purchase it in the airport since it has already been screened by security
• Baby formula and breast milk: it does, however, need to in containers less than three ounces and must be checked at the security checkpoint prior to boarding.
• Solid cosmetics and personal care items such as deodorant, Chap Stick and lipstick. No gels or aerosols though
• Batteries: most batteries are allowed as long as they are already installed in some sort of electronic device. No spares allowed.

Of course the best way to answer the question, “what can I bring on an airplane” is to contact the airline the day you plan to fly to see if there have been any policy changes since you booked your flight.
