Toiletries & Personal Care on a plane
🧴 Category · 79 items
The dividing line is one sentence: solids are free, anything you can pour, spray, spread, or squeeze is a liquid. That is why a full-size stick deodorant sails through while its aerosol twin must be 100 ml or checked, and why lipstick passes but mascara counts against your quart bag. Sharps have their own logic — tweezers and nail clippers are always fine, cartridge razors are fine, but any blade that comes out (safety razors, straight razors) belongs in checked luggage. Canada is stricter than the US on scissors: 6 cm blades versus 4 inches. Big powder containers over 12 oz get extra screening in the US only.
