Has anyone carried a large bottle of contact solution on a flight?
I'm only taking carryon, no check-though.

Anyone here gotten a big bottle of saline solution through TSA?

1. Buy the 3oz bottle.

2. I don't have time to shop, as odd as that sounds. nt

3. You have time to post, but not to run to a drugstore?
In my experience, you will not be able to get a large bottle on in a carry-on. 3oz or less is the rule. Also, all containers must be in a single, quart-size ziploc bag.

Good luck!

5. You're not getting the big bottle by TSA. No sense in having them toss it.
Find the time to shop, or buy some when you get to your destination.

4. They won't let it through unless it is 3 oz or fewer.
When you get to where you're going, ask someone about a local pharmacy/place that has contact lens solution and buy it there.

6. They will take it from you.
Buy on the other end if you have no time.

7. All good ideas. Thanks!
I was just wondering, really, if TSA has relaxed lately at all. I guess not.
