Air-traveled with a toddler lately?

Ooops! I have to admit that I did NOT know that. Hmmm. Ok. No milk for her for tomorrow. Too late for today.

Hmmm. Scratching rice off the list, then. And praying for a chinese-type place inside (don't remember seeing one last trip, and we're flying the same airline). We'll hit jackpot if there is one, though, because she loves the lo-mein and fried rice.

I'll look for the chicken noodle soup when I grocery-shop this evening. Hopefully, it'll come in an allowed-thru-security size. Thanks for the idea, boomerang.

I think the liquid restriction is 3 ounces, not 4. And when I researched this I recall reading that you couldn't bring larger containers with only 3 oz of liquid in them - the container itself couldn't be larger than 3 oz.

Ok, did a quick google search and found this link:

http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/permitted-prohibited-items.shtm#10

It mentions an exception for juice.

Thanks for finding that, mac, I remembered it existed but couldn't quickly remember how to find it.

This (a link within mac's link) give more specific info re: what's allowed for babies and toddlers.

Ack! Thanks for the link, mac11. Yep - 3 oz, not 4.

Hmmm.

It's so odd, though. The last trip to CA was the first time that I was traveling alone with M - so was a little nervous anyway. Totally forgot about all the rules & whatnot. I packed a ton of food-stuff for M in ice & freezer packs. And sailed through check-in on both to & back flights. I'm expecting stricter check-ins this time with all the news about 'increased suspicious activity' (with cheese blocks & coils & wires, etc).

I think I'll still try to sneak in my 4-oz frozen juice bottles. If they make me throw them - I'll have to get some adult juice for M and water it down. But I will be mindful of the 3-1-1 rule. Thank you, again.

Heatwave - did you see sozobe's post above yours? Good link there.

Yep, I did, mac11. Thank you.

Don't forget that the clear bag has to be exactly as stated in that link or they will confiscate it all. I just flew back from Nevada and security was extremely strict.

Yes, I'm expecting the much stricter security, and am planning on following most of the guidelines in mac11 & sozobe's links above. Thanks, TTH.

Well I hope you and your little one have a nice flight and she doesn't get sick again.
