You are allowed to bring one small bag of liquids, aerosols, gels, creams and pastes through the checkpoint. These are limited to 3.4 ounces (100 ml) or less per container. Consolidating these containers in the small bag separate from your carry-on baggage enables BIA Security Officers to screen them quickly.
To maintain a fast screening-time, we ask you to use the 3-1-1 rule. This means: Liquids, gels, aerosols, creams and pastes must be 3.4 ounces (100 ml) or less per container; must be in 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag; 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin during screening. The bag limits the total liquid volume each traveler can bring.
The approximate dimensions of a one liter/quart bag are 15.24 cm by 22.86 cm (6 in. by 9 in.) or 20 cm by 17.5 cm.
Be prepared. Each time a BIA Security Officer stops to physically screen a carry-on bag, it will slow down the line. Practicing the 3-1-1 rule will facilitate the checkpoint experience.
Declare larger liquids. Medications, baby formula/food and breast milk are allowed in reasonable quantities exceeding three ounces, and they don’t have to be in the zip-top bag. Baby Formula. Pack enough baby formula or breastmilk for your flight plus one day. Declare these items for inspection at the checkpoint. BIA Security Officers may need to open them for additional screening.
If in doubt, put your liquids, gels, aerosols, creams and pastes in checked baggage.
