Second, you avoid the “Novice Traveler” stare from the security line. You know the look—when someone pulls out a gallon-sized bag of 22 different bottles, and everyone rolls their eyes. Don’t be that person. Be the cool traveler who glides through with a neat little bag of essentials.

Real talk: If you show up with a 5-ounce bottle of lotion, you get two choices. You can check your bag if you’re at the counter, or throw it away. Yes, into the bin. It’s the TSA’s version of a harsh reality check. I once saw a woman argue with an agent over a 4.5-ounce face cream, and let me tell you—she did not win.
