Is it Legal to Carry Alcohol on a Domestic Flight?
Yes, it is absolutely fine to carry alcohol within the directed limits on a domestic flight.
How Much Alcohol Can One Carry on a Domestic Flight?
As per the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) guidelines, for carry-on luggage, you can only carry liquids (including alcohol) not exceeding 3.4 oz or 100 ml in a single quart-sized, clear bag.
In checked luggage, you are allowed to carry five liters (1.3 gallons) per passenger subject to certain conditions based on the percentage of alcohol content.
Key Points to Keep in Mind While Carrying Alcohol on a Domestic Flight
> Alcohol falls under the same restrictions as other liquids like gels, shampoos, and lotions when traveling on a domestic flight. The total liquid limit for each container is 3.4 ounces or 100 ml. All these liquids, including mini-bottles of alcohol, must be packed in a transparent, quart-sized zip-lock bag.
So, when carrying alcohol in your carry-on, make sure that the bottles are within the specified limits and can fit comfortably in the designated zip-lock bag.
> The rules for carrying liquor bottles in checked luggage are slightly different. You can carry any number of liquor bottles (alcohol content less than 24%) provided your total luggage weight is within the limits.
> If you are carrying alcoholic beverages with an alcohol content between 24% and 70%, then you can only take 5 liters per passenger in checked luggage.
> Alcohol carried in checked luggage must be in sealed retail packaging only. Partially consumed or opened bottles are strictly forbidden.
> You must keep your liquor bottles in a padded container or place them between layers of clothes.
> Before reaching the airport, don’t forget to check airline-specific policies on carrying alcohol on a domestic flight.
