Airplane Carry-On Luggage Restrictions Checklist

It can be difficult to remember what items you can and can’t bring onto airplanes. Make packing for your flight a breeze by following this guide based on the Transportation Security Administration’s rules and regulations.

• Small tools. Certain tools, such as screwdrivers, wrenches, and pliers, are permitted, as long as they are seven inches or less in length. All other tools should be securely wrapped (if sharp) and packed in checked baggage.
• Nonflammable liquids, gels, and aerosols. Nearly all liquids, gels, and aerosols, including but not limited to food, drinks, and personal-care items, must be in 3.4-ounce or smaller containers and placed in a single quart-size clear zippered plastic bag. Exceptions include medically necessary liquids, such as insulin and baby formula.
• Lighters and matches. Passengers may carry on common lighters and one pack of safety matches. No matches, including safety matches, are permitted in checked baggage.
