Can You Bring Nail Polish Remover on a Plane?

Yes — in containers of 3.4 oz (100 ml) or less, riding inside your quart-size liquids bag.

Yes — allowed in checked bags; FAA toiletry aggregate caps apply (≤ 2 kg / 2 L total, 500 ml each).

Containers with a marked capacity of 100 ml (3.4 oz) or less that fit within a single clear, resealable 1-quart (1-liter) plastic bag are permitted through screening because small volumes can be rapidly inspected and present limited hazard potential.

Standard carry-on baggage size allowances apply; TSA publishes no individual numerical cap for personal use.

Allowed in carry-on bag inside single 1-quart clear liquids pouch. Pack in 3-1-1 liquids bag.

Permitted in checked hold baggage. Pack in checked suitcase.

Standard toiletries and liquids conforming to the 3-1-1 rule (containers under 3.4 ounces / 100 ml inside a clear quart bag) require no separate declaration. You simply place the bag in a screening bin. Medically necessary liquids exceeding 3.4 ounces must be verbally declared to checkpoint screeners before inspection.

If liquid containers exceeding 3.4 ounces (100 ml) are detected in carry-on baggage without an infant or medical exemption, screeners will not allow them past security. Travelers must surrender the item for destruction, return outside security to place it in checked luggage, or mail it home.

Yes — carry-on bottles must be 3.4 oz (100 ml) or smaller in the liquids bag; full-size bottles are fine in checked luggage within FAA toiletry limits.

Yes — pre-soaked pads count as solids, not liquids, so they fly without restriction.
