The 3-1-1 Carry On Liquid Rule



What is the 3-1-1 rule for carry on liquids?

3 stands for:   3.4 ounce containers or less placed in…

1 stands for:   One quart sized clear  zip seal bag.

1 stands for:  One bag per person allowed in screening bin.

This limits the amount of liquid a passenger can carry during flight. Be prepared, TSA searches slows down the line, be sure that the 3-1-1 rule is followed to speed up search time. If in doubt, put your liquids in checked luggage.

Items like medication or baby formula are allowed in reasonable amounts above 3 ounces, and are not required to be in a zip seal bag. Be sure to declare those items at the inspection checkpoint.
