Now, let's get to the good stuff – liquids, gels, and aerosols. You know the drill, right? 3-1-1 is the way to go: 3 ounces or less per container, in a 1-quart bag, with only 1 bag per passenger. But, did you know that medications and breast milk are exempt from this rule? Yeah, we didn't either!
Okay, so you've got your liquids under control, what about electronics? The Faa says you can bring your phone, laptop, and tablet on board, but make sure they're in airplane mode. And, if you're feeling extra tech-savvy, you can even bring a portable charger to keep your devices juiced up. Just don't try to charge your phone during takeoff and landing, or you might get some weird looks from the flight attendants.
But wait, there's more! The Faa also has rules about food and drinks. Surprisingly, you can bring solid foods like sandwiches, fruits, and veggies on board, but liquids and gels are still subject to that 3-1-1 rule. So, go ahead and pack that turkey sandwich, but leave the soup at home.
