Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the 3‑1‑1 liquids rule?

Liquids must fit in 100ml (3.4 oz) containers inside a single 1‑quart/1‑liter clear bag. One bag per traveler in most countries.

How do I avoid wrinkles?

Roll soft fabrics, fold structured items, and use tissue between layers. Hang clothes in a steamy bathroom on arrival.

What goes in my personal item?

Documents, medications, valuables, electronics, and a change of clothes in case your carry‑on is gate‑checked.
