Perfume, shampoo, desodorante y otros líquidos, como llevarlos en mi viaje de un avión?

There's checked luggage that travels in the hold; that giant 23-kilogram suitcase b. And then there's carry-on luggage: carry-on luggage and/or personal items So the first step is to know what luggage the ticket you bought allows. Step 2: Let's define the following rules: 1. Liquids, aerosols, and gels must be carried in carry-on baggage in containers of up to 100 ml, placed inside a transparent, zip-top plastic bag. One bag per passenger is allowed, with a maximum volume of one liter and dimensions less than 20 cm high and wide. At security checkpoints in some countries, you may be asked to remove it from your carry-on baggage. 2. Hold luggage is allowed from 1 liter in the USA and from 2 to 5 liters in the rest of the world, regardless of the container's capacity. Based on that, let's look at the types of items and how to transport them: Gels: Alcohol-based hand sanitizer to carry with you on the plane, to sanitize your hands during the trip. If it's a gel like hair gel or shower gel, it must be in a container smaller than 100 ml. If it's larger than 100 ml, it must go in checked baggage. Lotions, such as sunscreen, shampoo, and anything with a liquid-creamy texture, follow the same rule. To transport in carry-on baggage, it must be in a small bottle smaller than 100 ml; otherwise, you'll check it in the checked baggage. But if you say "half-liter bottles" and you have some left, it doesn't matter. Makeup: gel, paste, powder, lipstick, usually comes in a small container, but it also falls under that rule. The same goes for perfumes. And be very careful with perfumes purchased at duty-free stores; I'll explain that later, starting from this minute. Toothpaste: Follow the same rules. 100 ml is mandatory, and no larger than 100 ml is required for carry-on travel, but for checked baggage. This is a problem because travel-size containers aren't always available; the solution is to buy them at your destination or bring them with you, as we saw in the shampoo example. Foams and aerosols: like shaving foam or deodorant: always the same rule. But you'll tell me, if I only have the carry-on container, what do I do? Either get a smaller container, convert it to a smaller container, or buy it at your destination. Like every rule, this one also has exceptions, and they relate to carry-on luggage, where you can exceed the permitted amount of the 100 ml container, as long as: • You bring essential medications during the trip, such as diabetic equipment, with proper pre-registration. • Baby food, in paste or liquid form, or breast milk (if traveling with babies). And we're left with one question: What are the rules regarding liquids in carry-on luggage at duty-free? If you purchase alcoholic beverages, perfumes, creams, or any other liquids at the airport duty-free shops or on the plane itself, they are allowed in carry-on luggage, even if they exceed 100 ml. The items must be sealed in an airport security bag with the receipt visible. However, be careful if your flight is not direct and you need to make a stopover that requires going through security again, as these items are subject to that country's carry-on liquid security regulations and will be searched.
