United States airport liquid rules

39 airports · 15 with verified rules · 24 unknown

Short answer

Verified airports in United States enforce the standard 100ml per-container rule in cabin baggage, all in a single 1-litre clear bag.

Partial verification

Rule basis: 15 of 39 airports in United States have verified or inherited rule data. The rest default to the global 100ml baseline.

What to do: Pack to the stricter rule on a return trip — the airport you fly home from sets the limit, not the airline.

Traveller warning: the airport you depart from sets the rule, not the airline. On a return flight you'll face the rule at the airport you fly home from — which may be stricter than your outbound airport.
