Experienced plane riders... I have some questions?

Question

I have some questions:

Are you allowed to bring lotion on the carry-on?

What about contact lens cleaner?

What about putting it in the luggage that you do not carry on? I don't know the word for it, haha, the bag that you do not bring on the plane.

Or is liquid things not allowed at all?

Am I allowed to bring a sandwich on board? I heard that was not allowed.

What about any other type of foods?

For the ladies: I'm also going to be on my period on the flight... It's going to be a heavy day :( any tips for me?

I'm a nervous flyer... I've been scared of them since 9/11 when my dad almost rode the plane that crashed. I know it is one of the safest ways to get around now, but I am still uneasy.

Knowing everything about my flight would help me mind go to ease.

Answer 1

For your carry on bag.all your personal hygiene liquids have to be in 4oz or less containers and put into one,1 qt zip log clear baggy. In your checked bags they can be 17 oz or less containers. Remember the key word "personal hygiene liquids". They will remove any other liquids or spray cans such as cooking oil, cleaning products etc. and dispose of them for you.

Answer 2

Lotion: Yes as long as its less than 100ml

Contact lens: Same as above!

For the other luggage you can take as much liquid as the weight limit! lol

You wont be allowed to take any food on, unless its bought past the security points, you know, in the duty-free lounges!

About your period, take some tampons AND pads with you, and those fresh wipes you can get, to make you feel cleaner.

If you suffer from cramps, like me, make sure you've got some ibuprofen or paracitemol with you. Nothing worse than sitting in agony for hours on end!

No need to be worried about your flight, sure, things can happen but almost everywhere that you go to can have accidents!

Think about all the lovely things you're going to do on you holiday and have a look on iTunes (if you've got it) and download the free 'Fly without fear' podcasts. Helped my mum alot!

Last of all, just relax, and have fun!

Good luck babe and have a great flight!

Answer 3

Are you allowed to bring lotion on the carry-on?

>>>   Yes, in bottles or jars that contain 3 ounces/100ml or less.

What about contact lens cleaner?

>>>   Yes, in bottles that contain 3 ounces/100ml or less.

What about putting it in the luggage that you do not carry on?

>>>  You can pack any quantities you like in your checked luggage.

Or is liquid things not allowed at all?

>>> Liquids and gels are allowed in your carry-on bag(s) IF they are in containers that hold 3 ounces/100ml or less.

Am I allowed to bring a sandwich on board? I heard that was not allowed.  What about any other type of foods?

>>>  Solid food is not prohibited by security. I don't know of any airlines that prohibit you from carrying-on food.

Go to www.tsa.gov for the complete security rules.  You have to check with the individual airline to ask about other policies.
