Passengers on nonstop international flights to and from the United States can take any size containers of duty free liquid on a plane. If the passenger is getting a connecting flight in the United States, but has a final destination outside the country, he cannot bring any duty free liquids over 3.4 oz.
In order to keep the passenger compartment uncluttered and safe, the airlines place rules and size limits on the luggage that each traveler can carry on the plane. The primary rule is the size limit stating that bags carried on board must be small enough to store below your seat or in the overhead compartment. Currently the basic rule is that carry on baggage must be no taller than 22 inches, no wider than 14 inches, and no deeper than 9 inches. In many cases, you'll also have to contend with limits on weight.
