Simple And Cheap TSA 3-1-1 Carry On Liquids Hack

Having your favorite bottle of perfume or cologne confiscated by airport security is a horrible way to start your vacation.

Most cologne bottles are larger than the 3.4 ounces or 100 milliliters that TSA allows in your carry on bag.

I can't tell you the number of frustrated travelers I've seen feverishly trying to negotiate keeping their fragrance after TSA discovers it during the X-ray scan.

This is not like having your bottle of water tossed out. We're talking about $40-$300 bottles of perfume and cologne. Throwing that type of money away can anger even the most peaceful traveler.

This is where preparation and knowing the rules of airport navigation works to your financial and aromatic benefit.

I'm going to show you a simple and inexpensive way to travel with your favorite fragrance with no worries of the suitcase surveyors snatching your smell goods prior to your boarding the plane.

As mentioned above, TSA has their 3-1-1 rule which allows each traveler to have liquids, gels, aerosols or pastes no more than 3.4 oz or 100 mil in size in 1 clear quart sized bag.

Ignorance is not excusable here.

Just because you don't know, doesn't mean they won't throw (your fragrance away).

You can easily save yourself some headache and embarrassment by purchasing some mist sprayers that meet the TSA restrictions.

The cool thing is, they are so small you can actually pack several of your favorite fragrances in your TSA approved quart sized bag. This is especially helpful for those who might be a little indecisive about which perfume or cologne to bring when packing. 😉

I've included links to a couple of multi-pack mist sprayers for you to choose from. These little babies have saved me tons of headaches and made my travel life that much fresher.
