Can you bring breast milk on a plane with Breeze Airways when traveling with a baby?

 

Bringing breast milk on a Breeze Airways flight

 

Yes — you can bring breast milk on a plane with Breeze Airways. Breeze is a U.S. carrier, so Transportation Security Administration (TSA) rules for passengers traveling within, to, or from the United States apply: breast milk, formula, and juice for infants are considered medically necessary liquids and are exempt from the 3.4 oz (100 ml) carry-on limit. That means you may bring larger quantities of expressed breast milk in your carry‑on for use during travel.

• Declare the milk at the security checkpoint. Tell the TSA officer you have breast milk and present it separately for inspection. TSA officers will visually inspect and may X-ray or otherwise screen the containers.
• Screening procedures. Breast milk may undergo additional screening. TSA may X‑ray containers, use explosive trace detection, or require opening the containers for inspection. If a container cannot be safely opened or inspected, the officer may request an alternative screening method. You may request private screening if desired.
• Ice packs, frozen milk, and gel packs are allowed. Gel packs, ice packs, and frozen breast milk are generally permitted to keep milk cold. Partially melted ice packs may be subject to additional screening but are normally allowed. Solid frozen packs are typically treated like other frozen items and screened as needed.
• Carry-on is recommended. Keep breast milk in your carry‑on rather than checked baggage when possible. Carrying on makes it easier to manage temperature, access during the flight, and protects against loss or rough handling.
• Label and organize. Label containers with date and time expressed if possible, and keep milk in a clearly separate bin at security when asked. Using an insulated cooler bag with ice packs helps keep milk cold during travel and delays.
• Bring extra supplies. Pack more milk than the expected flight length in case of delays, plus wipes, disposable bottles, a nursing cover if you use one, and a spare breast pump battery or pump parts as needed.
• Battery-powered pumps and spare batteries. Electric or battery-operated breast pumps are allowed in carry‑on. Spare lithium batteries should be carried in the cabin, not checked, and battery terminals should be protected (tape or original packaging) per airline/TSA guidance.
• International travel and customs. If you are traveling internationally, check the destination country’s customs rules for importing breast milk and any airline-specific rules. Some countries may have separate rules about transporting food or dairy; when in doubt, carry documentation showing it is for an infant’s personal use.
• If you need help at the airport. Ask for assistance: Breeze staff at the gate or airport agents can advise about storing milk on board or accommodating infant needs. You can also request TSA Cares or similar assistance at large U.S. airports if you think you’ll need help during screening.
