Can you bring formula on a plane with Alaska Airlines when traveling with a baby?

 

Bringing formula on Alaska Airlines

 

Yes — you may bring baby formula, breast milk, and baby food in your carry-on when flying with Alaska Airlines. These items are exempt from the 3.4 oz/100 mL liquid rule, but you must declare them at the TSA/security checkpoint. Containers may be X‑rayed or inspected and may need to be opened for screening.

  • Pack enough for the flight plus extra for delays.
  • Powdered formula is allowed; it may receive additional screening (swab or hand inspection).
  • Ice packs/gel packs are allowed if frozen solid at screening; partially thawed packs may be screened as liquids.
  • Keep bottles and supplies accessible for inspection and for use during the flight.
  • For international travel, check destination customs rules before you go.

If you need help at the airport, ask a TSA officer or Alaska Airlines staff — they’re used to assisting families and will help you through security and boarding.
