Will nail polish explode on airplanes?

Question

The title of the question is pretty much self-explanatory. I was wondering, if I bring nail polish in my luggage (as well as perfume in a glass container), it will explode and make a mess of things. And what the best way of packing them would be. Thanks!

Answer 1

WTF?  What would make you possibly think nail polish explodes on aircraft?

As for the perfume... you'll need to check with your carrier.  There are quite a few restrictions now, and most airports won't let you take more than 100ml/3oz through security.

Best bet... pack them both in your checked luggage.  Remember that you are going to be in a confined space.  And given that you can't open the windows, other passengers will be might miffed if you decide to hoick out your nail varnish and give the toes a good going over.

Answer 2

It definitely won't explode, but because they are in glass it's probably a good idea to wrap them inbetween something soft like a towel so they don't hit against anything else hard.

I think the biggest problem will be from baggage handlers throwing your bag around... always a good idea to keep anything liquid in a plastic bag... sometimes thinks leak or break a little bit with the pressure or from not being handled gently.
