ORD security just threw out my hair wax which was 4.25oz. I was flying with the same can half a year and it was okay. Wtf? Do I need to read rules or premier access allows for a larger size?

4.25 oz never allowed anywhere, but rarely is TSA alert enough to grab it.

You aren't special because you are premier op

3.2 oz has always been the size limit

Ehh hit and miss. I've also showed them hair wax containers that were oversized but half gone (so under limit) and they've let me keep it

All just depends on who's on duty that day and how much they care... but anything over 100ml is not technically allowed (even if partially empty)

Alright friends. 100ml = 3.381 us fl oz

3.2oz or 100ml always

Rip off the label and pack it separate in ur laptop bag.

Is it a liquid? I would have thought the hair wax would be more like a solid and not have any size restrictions...

How much wax you using?

E2 - it's any liquid or gel. Wax is def in that category. Although it, and other products, may actually be packaged by oz (mass) not fl. oz (vol). TSA doesn't understand that difference though.

Some TSA agents do the flip test - they flip the container of liquid / gel upside down and if something comes out or moves, it's considered liquid or gel. I've ran into this problem with wax before, had them do the flip test, and got to keep it because it didn't move 😅
