REGULATIONS FOR LIQUIDS, AEROSOLS & GELS (L.A.G.) IN CARRY-ON BAGGAGE
This regulation is established by the General Directorate for Civil Aviation (DGAC), the Ministry of
Communications and Transportation (SCT), and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), in order to
provide additional security for control of Liquids, Aerosols and Gels that could hide or disguise explosive liquids
or reactive substances contained in containers and bottle that appear harmless.
1. Carry Liquids, Aerosols and Gels in containers of no more than 100 ml, or 3.5 oz. Liquids, Aerosols and Gels cannot be carried in containers larger than 100ml, even if these are partially empty; any L.A.G. in larger containers must be placed in checked baggage.
2. All such containers need to be placed in a clear, resealable plastic bag of no more than 1-liter capacity.
3. The containers must fit easily inside the plastic bag, and the bag must be completely closed.
4. Each passenger is limited to one bag for L.A.G.s, and it must be presented individually for inspection.
5. Baby formula: Food for infants is permitted only when the infant is traveling as a passenger, and
includes milk, sterilized water, juice, food in liquid, gel or paste form, and moisturized towel wipes. The
quantity of such products cannot exceed that required for the number of days of travel.
6. Medical or dietary necessities: Any L.A.G. needed for medical or dietary purposes that exceeds the 100 ml limit will be accepted only when need is demonstrated and proof of authenticity is provided, along with a medical prescription. To clarify, for carry ons, this refers only to personal medical needs for the duration of your wait and departure and your flight and no longer than that. The balance of such needs should be placed in your checked bag for retrieval at your connecting airport or final destination.
7. Alcoholic beverages:
a. Beverages with an alcohol content of less than 24% by volume (beer and table wines) may be
carried in carry-on baggage provided the factory labels and seals are intact, subject to the policies
of individual airlines.
b. Beverages with a final destination outside of Mexico that contain more than 24% but less than 70%
alcohol by volume may be carried in carry-on baggage, with a limit of 5 liters per passenger,
provided the factory labels and seals are intact and they have been acquired in retail stores in the
secure area of the airport and are delivered to the passenger at the boarding gate.
** To all international passengers with a connection flight, verify the regulation in the connection airport, due to differences in the regulation among countries.
c. Beverages with a final destination inside of Mexico that contain more than 24% but less than 70%
alcohol by volume may be carried in carry-on baggage, with a limit of 5 liters per passenger,
provided the factory labels and seals are intact and they have been acquired in retail stores in the
secure area of the airport and are delivered to the passenger at the boarding gate within a
resealable transparent plastic bag and previously verified.
d. Beverages that have more than 24% but less than 70% alcohol by volume that have not been
acquired in the airport may be placed in checked baggage, with a limit of 5 liters per passenger,
