Video transcript
The perfume limit for carry-on luggage at the airport follows the 3-1-1 rule: each liquid container must be 3.4 oz (100 ml) or less, all containers must fit into a single 1-quart (1-liter) clear plastic bag, and each passenger is allowed one such bag. For checked baggage, these restrictions do not apply, but ensure bottles are securely packed to prevent leaks.
