Can you bring pumped breast milk on a plane with Hawaiian Airlines when traveling with a baby?

 

Bringing pumped breast milk on Hawaiian Airlines

 

Yes — you can bring pumped breast milk when traveling with a baby. Hawaiian Airlines follows standard aviation and security rules that allow breast milk, formula and baby food in quantities greater than the usual 3.4 oz (100 ml) liquid limit when traveling with an infant.

• Declare at the security checkpoint: Tell the TSA officer you have breast milk and infant supplies before screening.
• Do not worry about the 3.4 oz rule: Breast milk, expressed milk, formula and juice for infants are exempt from the carry-on liquid limit and may be carried in reasonable quantities.
• Packing tips: Use clear, leak‑proof containers and consider an insulated bag with ice packs or frozen gel packs. Ice packs that are partially frozen may be subject to additional screening.
• Screening: Containers may be X‑rayed or hand‑inspected. If you prefer, request a private inspection; officers may also swab samples for additional testing.
• Breast pump and accessories: You may bring a breast pump and spare parts in carry‑on; battery‑powered pumps are allowed but follow airline rules for spare batteries.
• Onboard and baggage allowance: Policies about whether breast milk counts against your carry‑on allowance can vary; it’s a good idea to pack it as a separate item and verify any specific limits with Hawaiian Airlines before travel.
• International travel: Rules at your destination may differ — check local entry rules for carrying breast milk.
