Can You Bring Facial Sheet Masks on Planes?

Rules for Flights in the USA

Although not specified, sheet masks are similar to makeup wipes and sanitizing wipes, which are allowed both on carry-on luggage and checked luggage without any quantity limit when traveling in the United States.

There is no need to pack them inside your clear bag of liquid toiletries since they aren’t considered liquid. However, it’s advised to pack them somewhere accessible, because the security officer might ask you to remove them from the bag since they might clutter the x-ray scanner images.

Rules for Flights in Other Countries

Canada, Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, China, and India

The Canadian, European, UK, Australian, New Zealand, Chinese, and Indian flight authorities don’t have special rules for bringing sheet masks on planes. However, they’re most commonly treated identically to wet wipes, which are allowed in hand and checked baggage without any limitations.

They also aren’t considered liquid, but because the rules aren’t specific, it’s up to each security officer’s judgment. The general rule of thumb is if you touch the bag and if it feels like there’s free-flowing liquid inside them, then you should pack them in your bag of toiletries when packed in hand luggage. If not, then you can pack them wherever you want. Just keep them in a somewhat accessible place in case they require additional inspection.
