Packing for a trip from Pakistan? If you’re wondering “Can I bring my favorite perfume on the plane?”, you’re not alone! Airline liquid restrictions can be confusing, and no one wants their expensive fragrance confiscated at security.
This guide covers:
✔ Latest airline rules for perfumes (PIA, Emirates, etc.)
✔ Step-by-step packing tips to avoid leaks
✔ Smart alternatives if your perfume exceeds liquid limits
1. Perfume in Hand Luggage: The 100ml Rule
What Pakistani Travelers Need to Know:
- 100ml Limit: Each perfume bottle must be ≤100ml (3.4oz).
- 1-Liter Bag: All liquids must fit in one clear, quart-sized bag.
- Exceptions: Duty-free purchases (sealed in security bag with receipt).
💡 Pro Tip: Transfer perfume to a travel-sized spray bottle if over 100ml!
2. Checked Luggage: No Liquid Limits
✅ You Can Pack:
- Full-sized bottles (100ml+)
- Multiple perfumes
- Glass bottles (if properly wrapped)
🚫 But Avoid:

3. Airport Security Tips for Pakistani Travelers
At Islamabad/Karachi/Lahore Airports:
- Remove your liquids bag before X-ray screening.
- Declare duty-free perfumes if transferring flights.
