The One Quart Carry-on Plastic Bag
|
The carry-on plastic bag dilemma... Ready travelers? Here's a link to read about those restrictions on your liquids, gels and creams... the US Transportation Security Administration - the TSA - calls it 3-1-1 for Carry-Ons.
OK.... How much can you fit in that carry-on plastic bag? And if you're a traveler from a country that uses metric sizes... what then?
The TSA site doesn't say it, but metric is OK. A one liter bag looks about the same as a one quart bag. We have traveled with 100 ml of liquids and not had a problem... in the US or abroad.
So back to the question.... You can read through their tips, but what does that mean for you? We thought it might be helpful to see our list of what we pack in ours. We always travel together, so we have two bags to work with, but here is basically how we divide it up.
Judy...
- 3 oz (90 or 100 ml) shampoo
- 3 oz (90 or 100 ml) hair cream rinse
- 1 oz (28 ml) hair "detangler"
- sample size toothpaste (or 90 ml when I can find it)
- 3 oz (90 or 100 ml) facial cleanser
- 2 oz ( 59 ml) facial moisturizer/sunscreen
- 1 oz (28 ml) night moisturizer
- 2 oz (59 ml) Liquid hair spray
- mascara
Mark...
- 3 oz (90 or 100 ml) shampoo (yes, we take 2 shampoos)
- sample size toothpaste
- 3 oz (90 or 100 ml) sunscreen
- 1 oz. (28 g) cortisone cream
- 1 oz. antibiotic cream
- 2 oz (50 ml) Preparation H
- Chapstick if they insist on it going in the bag.
Hope this helps. Remember, if you can't fit it in... or if you forget something... you can always buy it there... no matter where THERE is!
