USA airline prohibited items list

[SadieKate]

I'm ba-ack! Aren't yawl thrilled?

Okey-doke. I only flew Sacramento to Phoenix and back so I can only report on these two airports. Security lines weren't bad. 40 mins in Sac where it would normally be 5 but it looked like it might be a bit better today. Phoenix was the normal 5 mins. It was fabulous not to have everyone carrying on beau coup luggage. Faster loading and more leg space.

OK stuff as of today - up to 4 ounces saline solution and eye drops. Pills but not probably not in gel form. I had a small unmarked container of motrin that was fine. Chapstick was fine. Sunglasses were fine.

Little tip: take the hand lotion from the hotel and hand it to the baggage/ticket agent to be thrown out when you check in or at the last minute. She acted like she'd had this happen all week. Marrriot just changed to this icky smalling Ginger Carrot toiletries group so I had no problem throwing the stuff out.

Not OK - you cannot carry on liquid of any form including water. You may buy beverages in stores or restaurants as usual but you must drink or discard it before boarding.

Water on the planes - may be served in a reasonable time and but then it may not. Sac to Phx, drinks were served over an hour into a 1:40 flight. Not cool. Coming back they were very prompt.

Regarding carrying your own water onto planes, Cali, read the news. Airline water is rarely bottled, unlike sodas and juice. The EPA has found contaminated water and come to "agreements" with the airlines. That leaves drinks which are either carbonated, caffeinated, high calorie or artificially sweetened. Really healthy choices.
