Liquids Rule for Travel from France to USA
We live in the US but are leaving for France tomorrow for a vacation. This will be our first trip outside of the US in quite a few years.
We currently have TSA Precheck so don't need to place our liquids and gels in the quart bag outside of our luggage.on domestic flights. Just leave them in the carry on bag What if any are the requirements for the international flight from the US point of departure (ATL) and the French point of return (CDG) that would be different Thanks! |
In my experience...Prep the same as you would leaving the US.
And don't forget duty free spirits, if you imbibe. |
Departing ATL - no difference from a domestic flight. Domestic and international departures are screened identically by TSA. But if you are flying an obscure airline they may not participate in PreCheck. Check the list of participating airlines: https://www.tsa.gov/precheck/participating-airlines
Departing CDG - same rules as if you were a non-PreCheck passenger in the US. One clear bag, taken out of your carry-on luggage; 100ml max per item. |
I think officially you're also limited to only 6 of those 100ml containers.
However I see loads of people going through with clear bags overflowing, especially ladies with make-up, and nothing much is said. That 100ml limit through is strictly applied. Mal |
Just went through CDG (return to US) today. There's no Precheck exemption. Same 3-1-1 rule (100-1-1 in metric). They have bags if you don't. It is enforced.

Mal A 1-quart bag isn't very big, so you can't realistically fit many <100ml containers in it anyway. That was the whole point behind the rule. https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-...g/liquids-rule |
I remember seeing somewhere that you can have a total of 1 litre of liquids in containers smaller than 100 ml. However, in most cases they don't seem to enforce the bag size or the total volume, at least here in Europe, but also in the US IIRC. I've also had containers slightly larger, or that look larger, and haven't had a problem, especially when traveling with a child.
