Instant checkpoint verification for carry-on luggage and checked baggage before you head to the airport.
Understanding carry-on vs. checked baggage restrictions
Containers must be 3.4 oz (100ml) or less per item. All containers must fit comfortably in 1 clear quart-sized zip bag per traveler.
Laptops and full-size tablets must be removed from your bag and placed in a dedicated bin for X-ray screening unless traveling via TSA PreCheck lanes.
Scissors with blades less than 4 inches from pivot point are permitted in cabin baggage. Knives, box cutters, and razor blades remain strictly prohibited.
Spare lithium metal and lithium-ion batteries, including external chargers and power banks, must strictly travel in cabin baggage. Never pack in checked cargo.
Medically necessary liquids, gels, and aerosols are exempt from the 3.4 oz limit. Declare them to officers at checkpoint start. Keep in labeled containers.
Always place your clear quart bag and laptop on the top layer of your carry-on for rapid single-pull inspection.
