Can I bring sunscreen on a plane?
The short answer
Yes — 100 ml or less in carry-on, any reasonable size in checked baggage.
Carry-on: Restricted
Checked: Yes
Sunscreen counts as a liquid or gel even in stick form if it is soft enough to spread. Solid sticks are usually accepted; lotions and sprays are not, above 100 ml.
Sun destinations charge airport-shop prices for sunscreen. Packing a full-size bottle in your checked bag is the cheaper move.
The rules
- Carry-on
- 100 ml max, in the liquids bag
- Checked baggage
- Full-size allowed
