Continental Airline Tickets

Airline regulations: Are complete sets of skincare products & cosmetics allowed in checked luggages?

To be specific, we will be travelling from S'pore to Canada through SQ. Especially with the recent limitations on carry-on chemicals, we wish to be very certain that any amount of skincare and cosmetics can be brought through checked luggages. Thank you for your prompt answers so far! But what I want to know is whether we can carry large amounts of liquids (skincare products etc) in Check-in luggages. =)

  1. No flammable aerosols allowed. No sharp pointy instruments allowed. No liquids creams or gels allowed in containers >100 ml. Not even drinking water >100 ml allowed through security but you can buy afterwards and take on board. Fly first class and the airline should give you a complimentary pack for the flight.
  2. IN CHECKED LUGGAGE there are no restrictions as there is in carry-ons. So, your answer to the checked luggage is absolutely, you can. Sorry for giving you all the info below. Just trying to be complete in the answers I guess. I fly weekly on airlines, so I keep up to date on this. Basically the rule is that you cannot carry through security any liquid or gel in a container larger than 3 oz. When you do have small bottles like these, they must all fit into a quart size zip-lock baggy. I am surprised on what they call a liquid, but it includes just about everything that you can spill or smear. The following comes from the FAA website: The following rules apply to all liquids, gels, and aerosols carried through security checkpoints. 1. All liquids, gels and aerosols must be in three-ounce or smaller containers. Larger containers that are half-full or toothpaste tubes rolled up are not allowed. Each container must be three ounces or smaller. 2. All liquids, gels and aerosols must be placed in a single, quart-size, zip-top, clear plastic bag. Gallon size bags or bags that are not zip-top such as fold-over sandwich bags are not allowed. Each traveler can use only one, quart-size, zip-top, clear plastic bag. 3. Each traveler must remove their quart-sized plastic, zip-top bag from their carry-on and place it in a bin or on the conveyor belt for X-ray screening. X-raying separately will allow TSA security officers to more easily examine the declared items.
  3. Yes, you can pack large quantities in checked luggage, but not in your carry-on. Carry-on is limited to 100ml/3oz per container, all stored in a 1 quart/ 1 liter clear plastic zip bag.
  4. Yes, you can put your skin care products in your checked luggage.
