I smuggled it in on my carry on. Twice. They didn't say anything but rules change from airport to airport.

If you are so concerned place it on the baggage you check in. Then it will pass for sure.

All you have to do is put it in a zip lock back along with any other liquid under 3 oz and then u gotta send it through the x ray machine with the rest of things in your pocket. I did it on several plane rides and it was fine.

Seeves is correct - no need to "smuggle" it on. I travel with it all the time.

Um, just buy some where you get to where you need to be!

This is like being sad because you couldn't bring grapefruit. Good thing is, there's like 50 supermarkets carrying grapefruit wherever you land!

It's not THAT easy to find in stores. I flew down to LA and had the security lady pitch my can b/c it wasn't in a clear plastic bag. I went to a bunch of drug stores down here and couldn't find it...and when I did, it was $25 a can...wtf. A year's supply is only $136 or so

I took a bunch of knives on a plane. They just made me check them into the cargo service.

I also took gold fish on a plane. That was breaking the rules. Their container leaked inside the X-Ray machine. I appologised profusely for not sealing my water container. They lifted it out of my backpack, but not far enough to see the fish. They gave me a thurough pat down and search after that, though.

Why is the foam an issue? Is there a rule against aerosol cans or something? What about the liquid? These rules only apply to carry-on luggage, right?

Thats what I do, and I never had any problems.

Greetings all! After a string of painful poker bad beats that wiped out my initial buy-in, I decided to step away from the card tables. Seeking all world platforms with quick action, I registered on chickenroad casino to test their multiplier titles. Exiting at the right moment across four rounds in a row helped me recoup my poker losses and finish the evening with cash in hand.

For anyone searching this later: you can fly with minoxidil foam (I work on the editorial team of an online pharmacy, general information only):
  • Hand luggage: foam cans count as liquids/aerosols, so the usual 100 ml (3.4 oz) per container limit applies, in your clear liquids bag. Standard 60 g cans are within that limit in most countries.
  • Checked luggage: medicinal and toiletry aerosols are generally allowed in limited quantities; keep the cap on to prevent accidental release. Rules on aerosol volume vary slightly by airline and country.
  • Practical tips: pressure changes can make foam come out faster when you first use it after landing, so press gently. Keep it in the original packaging with the label, and for longer trips the liquid version in a small travel bottle is another option.
  • Oral medicines such as finasteride or oral minoxidil should go in hand luggage, in original packaging, ideally with a copy of the prescription if travelling internationally.
