Can minis of liquor be brought in carry on?
I was hoping to bring mini's onboard our flight in May...less then 3 oz.....following the rules and not consume it while in flight. We will not be bringing any checked luggage.
Cannot seem to find a recent thread/post about this. Thanks~

I have both purposely and unwittingly had minis in my carryon laptop bag, and it doesn't seem to raise an eyebrow. FWIW, I do not separate out small toothpastes, etc from my luggage either. They barely detect / pause on it.

You don't give your origin/destination, but if this is domestic USA, in theory the minis go in your quart baggie for TSA. Haven't had anybody raise the quart bag issue in over a year, so not sure how much that matters anyway.
You are correct that you can't consume inflight.
If this is intl., will depend on specifics.

Ok, since you said correct, you I will correct you. Some airlines do not allow you to do that at all, some don't care...also it might depend on business class and whether the airline is losing money if your bring your own (as in you are not buying their overpriced mini bottles).

As far as the airline goes, don't ask, don't tell.

Not to mention if you want to create you own bottle labels you can have a lot of fun watching your seat mate while you imbibe.
