Reminder for holiday air travel - what you can(not) carry on

Filed under: Hair Care, Cosmetics, Fragrance, Skin Care

holiday air travelWhen the Transportation Security Administration made some drastic changes to what travellers could carry on-board (nothing liquid) with them earlier this summer, we posted a list of non-liquid cosmetics as alternatives that you could take with you.

The TSA has since relaxed some of the policies, and as we make plans to travel to and fro to see friends and family, we'd like to point you to their website where they keep an updated list of allowable/non-allowable things in travellers' carry-on bags. As of now, liquids and gels are allowed, but only in containers that hold 3 oz. or less, and all liquids and gels must be sealed in zip-top plastic bags that can be removed from your bags at the security check point. They even have a table dedicated solely to makeup and personal products, so make sure to check it out before you fly.

TSA-friendly cosmetics

Filed under: Cosmetics

It's a tough time indeed to be a flying fashionista. After the UK airline terrorist plot was exposed on August 10, it's suddenly verboten to bring gels, fluids, lotions and other necessities anywhere beyond the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) screeners and metal detectors.

I appreciate the need for security, but no hand lotion on a plane? Are you kidding?

Fortunately, as Anna Bahney reports in the New York Times, there is hope. Bahney points out that the rules allow for a carry-on cosmetic kit if -- and only if -- that cosmetic kit is an easily screened, transparent bag.

As for the contents of that bag ... well, you'd better stick to powders, sticks and wipes, like $6.95 Toothfresh Powdered Toothpaste in lieu of your $3 Crest. Bahney has a long list of suggestions for how to fly in style here.
