Yes, you can bring aftershave in hand luggage provided it is 100ml or less. But, if it's more than 100 ml, it needs to be checked in.
Aftershave is considered a liquid and can be carried on board the plane if you put it in a 1-quart bag. Larger containers of toiletries can be packed in checked baggage.
TSA regulation states, "When you carry liquids, gels, or aerosols in your carry-on luggage, it must follow certain rules. Liquids, gels, and aerosols must be 3.4 ounces or less."
Aftershave contains alcohol or essential oils that are considered flammable. TSA liquids size regulations include alcohol-based products like cologne and aftershave.
Some airports are strict about not allowing liquids over a certain limit, and aftershave is a solid-liquid.
You must put all liquid items in a clear plastic bag. You must package all your liquids in containers no larger than 100ml and place them in a transparent re-sealable bag.
The transparent bag must be presented from the rest of your luggage and placed in the x-ray machine. The re-sealable bag must be full before you pass the security check.
The TSA has several rules and restrictions about the transportation of liquids and gels in containers exceeding 3.4 ounces.
These rules are designed to prevent the introduction of weapons, explosives or other destructive devices into an aeroplane cabin.
Airlines are very strict about the number of liquids and gels that can be brought into the cabin. However, we don't know much about the latest regulations.
There is no room for any doubt that bringing any amount of aftershave over the limit will result in being denied boarding.
You can read the common restrictions in airlines below.
Airlines can restrict how much liquid you carry on your flight, and it's important to follow their guidelines and put it in your hand luggage.
The following information below can be found on the US Transportation Security Administration website:
1. Liquids like gels, aerosols, creams, and pastes must be in containers no more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
2. All containers must fit in a one-quart plastic zip-top bag.
3. One-quart bag per passenger.
4. Luggage plastic or vinyl and must be clear.
5. The rules apply to all liquids, including
6. Some water, liquid makeup, liquid prescription drugs, alcohol for medical purposes and baby formula are permitted.
Airlines may not enforce the new rules, but passengers would face the risk of cramming their carry-ons full of items larger than 3.4 ounces. It is a risk of having items confiscated.
You must carry the correct amount of aftershave in your hand luggage suitcase. As you will have to avoid being searched at airport security.
The TSA liquids items rules are a good reminder that they are putting themselves at risk no matter what travellers do. Travellers should know that security screeners are trained to screen for things that look suspicious and to avoid making assumptions.
