Question
Hi Roberto,
  Just wondering how to pack those over 3 oz. items.  Can I still put them in clear plastic baggies and pack them with the checked baggage?  I have suntan lotions and hair products that are 8 oz. or more.  Thanks in adavance.t

Answer
Dear Annette,

First of all, my apologies for the delay in replying your question. I did not receive any message from the site saying that I had an unanswered question.

As far as items over 3 oz. you can put them in a zip-toped plastic bag in your checked baggage. I also recommend that you use a tape to involve the cap of lotions, shampoo etc.., in order to avoid leakage due to pressurization.

Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
R. Gomes
