full size hair spray on carry on?

No problem: Buy hair spray once off the plane.

A full sized can of hairspray can go in checked bags only. To be in a carry on it must be in a container that is less than 3.4 oz. and fits into a 3-1-1 bag. They do have hairspray to purchase in Europe. ;-)

If it is an aerosol or pump spray over 3 oz., it must go in your checked luggage. That's been the rule for years, so I wonder where you are reading conflicting reports.

The liquid size limit is now 3.4 oz (100ml). Heidi, I appreciate your dilemma. I spent a very frustrating couple hours last night trying to find an aerosol container of sunscreen higher than 30 SPF in a carry-on-allowable size. In a huge array of choices there was only one but it was 30 SPF, which is not strong enough for me. I don't use hairspray, but I'm sure I've seen some travel-size containers of spray in the 'Travel Size' section at Rite-Aid. Also try CVS, Walgreens, etc. And I just Googled 'travel size hairspray amazon' and it looks like they sell several kinds.

Full size hair spray in carry on ,, its a NO. They must pack it in checked bag. Either buy some there,( hello they have many of same brands there , remember Europe is not third world) or bring the TRAVEL size sprays. For one week most can get by with one can of travel size,, and if going for 2 weeks you can fit two of those travel size tins in your plastic baggie to carry on. If someone needs more then 200 mls of hair spray for 2 weeks then they are wearing too much spray!

The TSA web site says NO for carry on or checked luggage. Buy it when you get there.

Irv, I think you may be looking at old information. They did ease up on some things a while back. Here's what the U.S. Dept. of Transportation says: For carry-on baggage, only bring personal, medicinal, and toilet items. Examples include hairspray, deodorant spray, asthma inhalers, mosquito repellent, and shaving cream. Personal, medicinal, and toilet items may use a flammable propellant and still be permitted on-board (subject to TSA security rules.)
