Yes, face cream and lotion are allowed in a cabin bag when each container is 3.4 ounces (100 ml) or less and fits your liquids bag. You can bring moisturizer in your carry-on, but the size of the container decides whether it sails through screening or gets pulled aside. TSA treats lotion, cream, and many […]

Yes, Priority can still be added on many American Airlines trips after check-in, as long as the option is still offered for your flight. If you’ve already checked in and then realized you’d rather board earlier, you’re not stuck. On American Airlines, Priority is sold as a trip option on many itineraries, and it can

No, a U.S. passport card won’t get you on a flight to Mexico; airlines want a passport book for international air travel. If you’re packing for Cancun, Mexico City, Cabo, or anywhere else in Mexico, this question can save you from a rough airport morning. A passport card sounds official because it is official. It

Yes, many everyday items can go in a checked bag, but loose lithium batteries, power banks, and other restricted goods cannot. Checked luggage can hold a lot more than a carry-on, but it still isn’t a free-for-all. Clothes, shoes, books, toiletries, gifts, and many full-size items usually belong there.

Yes, airlines can usually update passport details after ticketing, though timing, route rules, and check-in status decide how you do it.

You can book a Southwest flight for your spouse, child, parent, friend, coworker, or anyone else. The airline does not require the credit card holder to be the traveler. That said,

Yes, an airplane can move with its nose pointed off track in a sideslip or crab, yet it still needs forward airflow to stay flying. A lot of people ask this after watching a crosswind landing video. The airplane looks crooked. The nose points one way. The runway runs another way. For a second, it

Yes, an empty reusable bottle can go through security, while water and other liquids must follow the 3-1-1 rule. A Cirkul bottle is just a reusable water bottle with a flavor system built into the lid, so the travel answer comes down to one thing: is it empty when you reach the checkpoint, or is

Yes, ibuprofen is allowed in carry-on and checked bags, though packing it in your cabin bag makes access easier during the trip. If you’re flying with ibuprofen, the answer is simple: you can bring it. That applies to standard tablets, caplets, softgels, and most personal-use amounts in both carry-on and checked baggage. The part that

Yes, homemade food is usually allowed on a domestic flight, though liquid dishes, loose packing, and airline rules can still slow you down. Homemade food is one of those things people pack with good intentions and then start second-guessing at the airport. A small meal from home feels easier on the stomach, cheaper than terminal
