carry-on baggage+Chapstick

I have flown twice since the rules went into place and they are allowing chapstick! Mine is in a tube, but I also had my lipgloss and that was fine.

Grace · Dooney & Bourke

Someone that I work with recently traveled and she had no problem with chapstick. Thank goodness, I'm the same way and I need my lip balm! I also have a solid lotion that I am going to bring. I figure it is the consistency of chapstick so it should be fine...plus it works better than lotion!

Just make sure it's not in a little tin...they took my rosebud salve.

i'm the same way! i think my lips would bleed. fwiw, i've heard it's pretty easy to get away with- hide it in a sunglasses case or something... they don't open every single item in your purse. (comforting!)

Thanks Valenciana....it is in a tin. Maybe I will transfer it to....hm, a ziplock might work.

I put my chapstick in my pocket, they saw the bulge, made me take it out but then let me go with it.

second time, i left it in my bag and they checked it and also let me go with it.

lips were extremely thankful!!

I took both a lipgloss and a balm (in a tube) and it was fine. I had them in a little change purse I keep them in regularly in my bag, so I'm not sure if they overlooked it or what. But I know chapstick is definitely okay to carry on the plane. They had signs at the airport saying it was acceptable.

I flew this past weekend and I had my lip gloss in a small purse inside another bag and they took it away from me. I didn't have any chapstick so I can't don't if that is allowed, but lip gloss isn't (at least not flying out of Milwaukee).

Metric · Gucci

cool, because on the TSA website it said it was prohibited.

My bf's idea was to smuggle it in my bum. Thanks, honey...

Aurora · Marc Jacobs

my chapstick was fine. I ended up buying the kiehls baby lip balm in the stick form so there wouldn't be any questions. Burt Bee's makes some flavored chapsticks for about $3 which is much cheaper than the kiehls stuff I bought.

I had chapstick and lipgloss in my pocket the last time I flew to Vegas, and they never checked my pockets, even when we got put in a special line on the way back and went through a weird sniffing machine.

they'll allow it as long as its in a tube and not in a pot. No clue why, but whatever.

or, bring a mini vasoline and clain it's your 4oz of personal lubricant.

Ha!

i didn't try it out of (and in) the states b/c i asked at the counters each time (i have flown 6 times since the new regulations) and each time they said i couldn't have it.

on the way to london, i knew there was no way i would survive the 7 hour flight without- so i bought some at a gift shop in the airport.

on the way, back i didn't carry it- but the BF did and they took it during security screening.

so... take it- but know that they will probably take it at security! so- don't take the expensive ones!
