Where do I pack my hairspray when flying?

So it is important to remember that all liquid, aerosol and gel items must be stored in containers 3.4 ounce or smaller. All of the 3.4 ounce containers must fit in a sealed 1-quart, clear plastic, zip-top bag, and only one plastic zip-top bag is permitted per passenger inside carry-on baggage.



Determining where to pack hairspray depends entirely on the size of the container and current aviation security regulations. If you wish to bring hairspray in your carry-on luggage, it must comply with the 3-1-1 liquids rule: the container must be 3.4 ounces (100ml) or smaller, and it must fit inside a single quart-sized, clear plastic bag. Most standard-sized hairsprays exceed this limit and must be packed in your checked luggage. However, there are safety restrictions for checked bags as well: the FAA and international civil aviation rules classify hairspray as a "medicinal or toiletry" aerosol. In checked baggage, the total capacity of all such aerosols must not exceed 2 kg (70 oz) or 2 L (68 fl oz) per person, and each individual container cannot exceed 0.5 kg (18 oz) or 500 ml (17 fl oz). It is also vital to ensure the nozzle has a protective cap to prevent accidental discharge due to pressure changes or shifting luggage during the flight.
