Can I take medical alcohol gel with me on the plane

Medical alcohol gel can be carried on the aircraft, but it must comply with the capacity limit and safety regulations of the Civil Aviation administration for liquid goods. The main restrictions include a capacity of no more than 100 milliliters, transparent and sealed packaging, and a total volume of no more than 1 liter.

1. Capacity limit: According to the regulations of the International Civil Aviation Organization, the capacity of a single container for liquid items carried by passengers shall not exceed 100 milliliters. Medical alcohol gel is a flammable liquid, which must be put into a small capacity container below 100ml, and all liquid articles must be put into a transparent plastic bag that can be repeatedly sealed, with a total capacity of no more than 1L. Alcohol gel exceeding this standard shall be consigned.

2. Packaging requirements:

Containers must be sealed in their original factory packaging, and the use of split bottles or opened products is prohibited. The packaging should clearly indicate the product name and alcohol content, and it is recommended to keep the original product label. Self made alcohol gel is usually forbidden to carry because it cannot verify the safety of ingredients. 3. Alcohol concentration: Disinfectant products with an alcohol volume percentage exceeding 70% have high flammability, and some airlines may prohibit them from being carried. It is recommended to select 60% -70% medical alcohol gel, which can effectively sterilize and meet aviation safety standards. Alcohol gel is prohibited during flight.

4. Security check process:

When passing through security check, a transparent bag must be taken out separately for inspection. Some countries or regions have additional restrictions on disinfectants. It is recommended to check the destination's epidemic prevention policies in advance. After the cancellation of special regulations during the epidemic, the regular control standards for alcoholic substances have been restored.

5. Alternative solution:

Solid disinfection products such as alcohol swabs and disinfectant wipes can be used, without being limited by liquid capacity. Some airlines provide disinfectant supplies and can also purchase products that meet local standards upon arrival. When shipping large capacity alcohol gel, pay attention to leak proof packaging.

When carrying disinfectant products on a plane, it is recommended to prioritize individually packaged alcohol swabs or disinfectant wipes, which can avoid liquid restrictions and meet cleaning needs. Put a small amount of alcohol gel and other liquid articles in a transparent sealed bag for inspection. International flights need to pay special attention to the special regulations of transit and destination areas, and some Islamic countries completely prohibit the entry of alcoholic products. During the epidemic, most of the temporarily relaxed policies on carrying disinfectant products have been terminated. Before traveling, the latest luggage regulations should be checked on the airline's official website. To prevent sudden security check issues, disinfectant wipes and compliant disinfectant products containing hypochlorous acid can be prepared as backup solutions.
