🧴 Aftershave

A full-size aftershave bottle over 100ml will be confiscated at the carry-on security checkpoint — screeners will not allow it through regardless of how expensive or sentimental the bottle is. You will be given the option to check your bag or surrender the item. To avoid this, pack full-size bottles in checked baggage and bring only a travel-size bottle of 100ml or less in your carry-on.

Yes — the 100ml (3.4oz) carry-on liquid limit for toiletries like aftershave is a consistent standard across the US, UK, EU, Canada, and Australia, all of which align on this rule. There is no country among the major aviation markets that has a more generous carry-on liquid allowance for aftershave. The limit and the quart-bag requirement apply uniformly.

No — screeners apply the 100ml rule strictly and do not have discretion to pass liquids that exceed the limit based on how full the bottle is or how close it is to the threshold. What matters is the labeled capacity of the container, not its current fill level. A 150ml bottle that is half-empty is still a 150ml container and will not be allowed through.

Pack full-size aftershave in your checked bag before you leave home. If you are traveling carry-on only, decant enough into a TSA-compliant travel bottle of 100ml or less and add it to your quart-sized liquids bag. Duty-free aftershave purchased after the security checkpoint can be brought on board in its sealed, tamper-evident bag, so that is another option for picking up a preferred brand without size restrictions.
