☆ENGLISH ONLY☆コミュのQuestion for US travelers

Well, the end of the year is coming soon, and though I wasn't planning on 'going home' this year, certain things have happened to make it necessary.

In any case, the information at the airport sites are vague on the whole 'liquid/gels/creams' restrictions. I'm just curious whether the rules apply to carry-on luggage or ALL luggage. That would really put a restriction on what I usually bring back with me on my return trip.

Anyone here with recent experience?

My wife and I are travelling to Japan this month so I need to know the exact rules, too. This site may be helpful to you (and me).

I went to NY (from Detroit) last week. Though I brought hair cream, shampoo which is one-day packege, and a tooth paste inside my bag, only the tooth paste was failed to make it. others were fine.

But normally all liquids, creams and gels are supposed to be in your check-in luggage, any airlines you're using.

Thank you. That sets my mind at ease a bit. I like to get my Vanilla Vodka and Root Beer Schnapps in America and if those items were prohibited, I'd probably cry. They'll be well packed!

I can live without a lot of things, that doesn't mean that I like to buy things that will be taken out of my suitcase and never seen again. The restrictions are rather vague as to whether they are allowed in the check-in luggage or not. I just wanted to confirm this.

I've shipped things in the past, and it's usually cheaper to buy them online domestically in most cases.

Just rub all that stuff on and in before you get on the plane. Normal Stuff in your checkin luggage is no problem but they leave the fact vague for a reason. So they can change their minds at any time and trash all your stuff :) Did you see how the are selling all the confiscated items and making millions. Its clearly airport robbery at its finest.

I went to Taiwan in summer just after the incident happened, carrying some Daifuku with Anko paste inside. At the airport, they went to ask some superiors whether anko is forbidden or not, but eventually let me keep it. :-)

I just came back from Honolulu with Norwest airlines.

Liquids ARE forbidden ONBOARD, but you can take them in your luggages.

P.S. Lighters are forbidden, don't bring your favorite zippo ;)

You CAN take them on board if you put them inside a Ziplock bag. I took toothpaste, hand lotion, anti-bacteria sanitizer, eye drops, and mothwash (all mini-size) inside it. I went to US in September, and it was no problem.
I think the bag has to be like, under 1 liter or something. Check the airport website for details.
