Whether your deodorant needs to go in your clear quart-sized liquids bag depends entirely on its physical form. According to TSA and international aviation security rules in 2026, solid stick deodorant is not considered a liquid and can be placed anywhere in your carry-on or checked luggage without restrictions on size. However, if your deodorant is a spray (aerosol), gel, liquid, or cream/paste, it is subject to the 3-1-1 rule. This means it must be in a container of 3.4 ounces (100ml) or less and must be placed inside your clear, quart-sized plastic bag along with your other toiletries. Many travelers mistakenly place solid sticks in their clear bag, which wastes valuable space. If you are unsure, the "rule of thumb" used by security is: "If you can pour it, pump it, squeeze it, or spray it, it’s a liquid." To avoid any issues at the checkpoint, choosing a standard solid stick is the easiest way to bypass the liquids bag requirement and ensure you stay fresh during your travels.
Emirates officially began its operations in Canada on October 29, 2007. The inaugural service consisted of three weekly non-stop flights between Dubai (DXB) and Toronto (YYZ) using a Boeing 777-300ER. For many years, the frequency was restricted due to bilateral aviation agreements between the UAE and Canada. However, in recent years, these restrictions were eased. In 2023, Emirates significantly expanded its Canadian footprint by launching a daily service to Montreal (YUL), its second gateway in the country. By 2026, Emirates has become a vital link for Canadian travelers heading to the Middle East, India, and Africa, offering daily flights from both Toronto and Montreal with their flagship A380 and Boeing 777 aircraft.
