Carry-on bag limits apply
Mini bottles must fit comfortably in your single quart-sized liquids bag (each ≤3.4 oz).
Checked bag limits apply
24–70% ABV — up to 5 liters per passenger, in unopened retail packaging. Under 24% ABV (wine, beer) — no quantity limit. Over 70% ABV (140+ proof) — prohibited everywhere.
Liquids, gels and aerosols in carry-on follow the TSA 3-1-1 rule. The final decision always rests with the TSA officer at the checkpoint.
