Oui, you can bring perfume on a plane, but there are specific guidelines to follow depending on whether it’s in your carry-on or checked luggage.
🧳 Carry-On Luggage
Perfume is allowed in your carry-on bag, but it must adhere to the TSA’s 3-1-1 liquids rule:
-
Container Size: Each bottle must be 3.4 onces (100 milliliters) or less.
-
Emballage: All liquid containers must fit into a single quart-sized, clear, resealable plastic bag.
-
Quantity: You’re limited to one such bag per passenger.
These rules apply to most international flights as well. It’s advisable to check with your specific airline or the airport’s security guidelines before traveling.
🧳 Checked Luggage
You can pack larger bottles of perfume in your checked baggage, but there are limits:
-
Total Quantity: The FAA restricts the total amount of restricted medicinal and toiletry articles, including perfumes, à 2 kilogrammes (70 onces) ou 2 liters (68 fluid ounces) per person.
-
Container Size: Each container must not exceed 0.5 kilogrammes (18 onces) ou 500 milliliters (17 fluid ounces).
Ensure that perfume bottles are well-protected to prevent breakage during transit.
✈️ Additional Tips
-
Solid Perfumes: Solid perfume sticks or balms are not subject to liquid restrictions and can be carried in any quantity in your carry-on.
-
Leak Prevention: To prevent leaks, consider using travel-sized atomizers or wrapping bottles in plastic wrap and placing them in a sealed plastic bag.
-
Etiquette: Be mindful of fellow passengers; strong scents can be overwhelming in confined spaces.
By following these guidelines, you can travel with your favorite fragrance without any issues.
