The brand I like doesn't come in anything smaller than 3oz, and I'd probably need more than that for the length of my trip anyway. Do you think it would make it through, or would it just take too long to be worth it? Obviously I could check it or attempt to find something comparable at my destination, or just send a bottle in the mail in advance... the ideal thing would be to have it in the cabin but what do you think the security reaction would be?
If you need to carry some on with you, get the small bottle. Those go through without a problem. Check the larger bottle if you are going to take one of those.
