❓ More Questions

Can I bring a 200ml perfume bottle in my carry-on?

NO for carry-on (exceeds 100ml limit). You must pack bottles over 100ml in checked luggage (max 500ml per bottle, 2L total). For carry-on, only bottles 100ml or smaller are allowed, and they must fit in a 1L clear plastic bag with all other liquids.

Do duty-free perfumes count toward the liquid limit?

Duty-free perfumes purchased after security screening can exceed 100ml in carry-on IF they're in a sealed, tamper-evident bag with receipt. However, if you have connecting flights, they may be confiscated at the next security checkpoint. Best to pack large bottles in checked luggage.
