Packing is one of the trickiest aspects of reaching one’s destination by flight. Security measures make the whole process a stress filled adventure for those who are not adequately prepared. One way to ensure a stress-free trip is to know the rules before you start packing. Still, it can be a confusing process. Obtaining a complete list of restrictions prior to your trip will help to smooth the process out. These days, the most confusing aspect of luggage is the carry on. It has been recently discussed in the media whether one is able to bring liquids on an airplane, or not. The system really is quite simple. The same rule applies to liquids, gels and aerosols: they must all be in containers that hold three ounces or less. Three ounces is the rule of thumb, but there are a few nuances. The container must be three ounces or smaller. Three ounces of liquid, gel or aerosol in a larger container, most times, is unacceptable. Each item must have its own three ounce container. The container may be smaller than three ounces, but it cannot be larger. Once all of your eligible containers have been filled they may be placed in one, one quart size, zip-top, clear plastic bag. The zip-top is essential as it allows easier access for security officials, among other things. Sandwich bags that you fold will not be allowed. Each traveler is allowed only one bag, so plan accordingly. When you reach the security checkpoint, the clear plastic bag must be separated from the rest of your luggage to be examined by airport personnel.
