TSA allows glass in carry-ons, such as bottles, jars, or small decorations. However, liquids inside glass containers must follow the 3.4 oz (100ml) limit. Avoid sharp glass edges or anything resembling a weapon. Always pack glass items securely to protect both the item and your belongings from accidental damage or leaks.
