For years, travelers have grappled with the TSA’s 3-1-1 liquid rule, which limits carry-on liquids to a quart-sized bag with containers no larger than 3.4 oz.
It’s a hassle many frequent fliers know too well, often resulting in full-size shampoos being tossed at security. However, there’s more to the rule than meets the eye.
Interestingly, if you’re returning to the U.S. from an international flight, you can bring full-sized liquids in your carry-on—provided you have proof of purchase within the last 48 hours and the items are untampered.
This little-known exception could save you from having to check a bag just for your toiletries.
According to Reader’s Digest, there are also specific full-size liquids allowed through TSA, but you must notify the agents at security.
As travel picks up for Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and beyond, it’s crucial to be aware of these rules to avoid unnecessary delays.
