Planning For Your Trip: Practice 3-1-1

  • Be prepared. Practicing 3-1-1 will ensure a faster and easier checkpoint experience.
  • 3-1-1 for Carry-ons = 3-ounce (or smaller) bottles placed in a single quart-sized, clear plastic, zip-top bag; one bag per passenger placed in screening bin. One bag per person limits the total liquid volume each traveler can carry on.
  • Consolidating bottles into one bag to be X-rayed separately speeds screening.
  • 3-1-1 is for short trips. If in doubt, put your liquids in checked luggage.
  • Declare larger liquids. Prescription medications, baby formula and milk are allowed in quantities exceeding three ounces and are not required to be in the zip-top bag. Declare these items for inspection at the checkpoint.
  • Come early and be patient. Heavy travel volumes and the enhanced security process may mean longer lines at security checkpoints.
  • TSA working with our partners. TSA works with airlines and airports to anticipate peak traffic and be ready for the traveling public.
