🧻 Alcohol wipes

Nothing happens — alcohol wipes are not treated as a liquid by security authorities because they are pre-moistened cloths and not pourable. They are permitted in carry-on and checked baggage in any quantity, and screeners will not flag them. The 100ml liquid rule simply does not apply to them.

Alcohol wipes are universally exempt from liquid restrictions across all major aviation authorities globally. No country treats individually packaged pre-moistened wipes as a liquid that requires placement in a quart bag. This is a consistent global interpretation of the liquid rule.

It is extremely rare for alcohol wipes in their standard foil packets or tub packaging to cause any confusion at security. If a screener ever questions them, you can simply open the packaging to show the wipes are solid pre-moistened cloths rather than a liquid. In practice, wipes pass through without a second glance.

There is no security reason to check them — they are fully unrestricted in carry-on. Keeping a pack in your carry-on or even your jacket pocket is practical for wiping down tray tables, armrests, or your hands during the flight. Pack them wherever is most convenient for you.
