Can I take liquids in checked luggage on a plane? - Calm ethnic woman taking refreshing drink from refrigerator in shop

I'm surprised that I haven't found this question on the Travel.SE already.

I know there are restrictions on carrying liquid on commercial flights, less than 100ml. Does this also apply to checked luggage, or just hand baggage?

I'll be travelling between the United Kingdom and the United States.

Can I fly with toiletries, drinks etc. in the hold?



Best Answer

Yes, you can carry liquids in checked luggage. Toiletries and drinks are fine. It's a good idea to put such things in a waterproof bag, because when your shampoo bottle bursts inside your luggage it makes an awful mess.

Answer 2

Sometimes people who are traveling light check baggage specifically because they have liquids they can't carry on. There's almost always shampoo and conditioner in my luggage, it's never been the slightest issue.

Answer 3

Depends on the liquid. Some things are absolutely forbidden from flying. Some may be forbidden or restricted by airline rules. Commercial toiletries should be OK.

Drinks and foodstuffs can fly, but will have to convince Customs that they pose no hazard of bringing in a pest or disease. Cooked foods and alcoholic beverages should be fine (though there may be a taraff on alcohol if it exceeds a certain amount?), raw foods aren't.
