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.
Passengers face many restrictions on bringing liquids, gels, creams, and aerosols onto airliners. In short, if the container is larger than 3.4 fluid ounces (100 ml), you can't bring most aerosols, gels, and liquids onto an aircraft or even into the secure area of the airport. If the container is small (a capacity less than 3.4 fluid ounces or 100 ml) you can bring as many as you want in your carry on bag. 2  If the container is larger than 3.4 fluid ounces (100 ml), you may not be able to bring it through security.
