Can You Take Deodorant on Loganair? Cabin Bag Rules Explained
- Aug 26
- 6 min read
Packing toiletries for a Loganair flight can raise more questions than you might expect, and deodorant is one of the products travellers regularly ask about.
Is spray deodorant allowed? Does roll-on count as a liquid? And can you take a larger aerosol if the can is only partly full?
The good news is that deodorant is allowed in hand luggage on Loganair flights. In fact, Loganair specifically lists deodorant among the toiletries passengers can take through airport security.
However, the type and size of deodorant still matter.
For a broader overview of toiletries and liquids, see our guide to Loganair Cabin Toiletries Rules Explained.
Quick Answer: Can You Take Deodorant on Loganair?
Yes.
✓ Loganair specifically lists deodorant among permitted liquid toiletries.
⚠ Liquid deodorants should be in containers of no more than 100ml under Loganair's current published guidance.
⚠ Roll-on deodorant should be treated as a liquid.
⚠ Aerosol deodorant needs to comply with the applicable liquid and aerosol restrictions.
⚠ Your liquid toiletries must fit comfortably inside one transparent, resealable bag of no more than one litre.
Remember that the capacity printed on the container matters.
A partly used 150ml aerosol is still a 150ml container and does not become compliant with a 100ml container restriction simply because some of the product has been used.
Which Types of Deodorant Can You Take on Loganair?
Everyday personal-care deodorants can generally be carried, but different formats need to be packed appropriately.
Roll-On Deodorant
Roll-on deodorant should be treated as a liquid.
Under Loganair's current guidance, the container should hold no more than 100ml and should be packed with your other liquid toiletries where the airport requires liquids to be presented separately.
Most travel-size roll-ons are comfortably below the 100ml limit, making them a straightforward option for cabin baggage.
Aerosol Deodorant
Aerosol deodorant can be carried subject to the applicable liquid and aerosol restrictions.
For cabin baggage, stick to a container of 100ml or less under Loganair's current liquids guidance.
Don't assume a larger aerosol becomes acceptable because you've already used some of it.
A half-used 150ml deodorant is still contained within a 150ml can.
Cream or Gel Deodorant
Cream and gel deodorants should also be treated as liquids or gels when preparing your cabin baggage.
They should therefore comply with the applicable 100ml container restriction and be packed with your other liquids.
Does Roll-On Deodorant Count as a Liquid on Loganair?
Yes.
This is one of the most common points of confusion because roll-on deodorant doesn't necessarily feel like a conventional liquid.
For airport security purposes, however, you should treat it as part of your liquids.
That means a roll-on should be considered alongside other products such as:
Toothpaste
Shampoo
Shower gel
Mouthwash
Sun cream
Moisturiser
Face wash
Loganair's current guidance says individual liquid containers should hold no more than 100ml and all liquid items should fit comfortably inside one transparent, resealable bag with a maximum capacity of one litre.
Can You Take Spray Deodorant on Loganair?
Yes.
Normal personal-care aerosol deodorant can generally be carried on a Loganair flight when it complies with the relevant restrictions.
For cabin baggage, choose an aerosol of no more than 100ml under Loganair's current liquids guidance.
Loganair's dangerous-goods guidance permits non-radioactive medicinal and toiletry articles, including products such as hairspray and perfume, subject to the applicable liquids regulations.
Aerosols are nevertheless subject to additional aviation safety requirements, so the fact that ordinary toiletry sprays are permitted doesn't mean every type of aerosol can travel.
For a more detailed explanation, see Loganair Aerosol Rules Explained.
Can You Take a Half-Used 150ml Deodorant?
This is where travellers can easily get caught out.
If you're working to a 100ml container restriction, the amount remaining inside the container doesn't change its stated capacity.
For example:
100ml aerosol, completely full → within the 100ml container limit
150ml aerosol, only one-third full → still a 150ml container
Using some of your full-size deodorant before travelling therefore isn't a substitute for taking an appropriately sized travel product.
Check the size printed on the container before putting it into your cabin bag.
How Should You Pack Deodorant for Loganair Airport Security?
Under Loganair's current published guidance, individual liquid containers should hold no more than 100ml.
Your liquid items should fit comfortably into one transparent, resealable bag no larger than one litre, approximately 20 × 20cm.
Loganair advises that this bag should fit inside your cabin baggage or additional under-seat bag and should be presented separately when requested at airport security.
Because airport security procedures can vary as newer screening equipment is introduced, it is also sensible to check the current requirements at the airport you're actually departing from.
Don't forget the return journey.
The security procedure at your destination airport may be different from the one you encountered when leaving home.
Why Travel-Size Deodorant Makes Sense on Loganair
There is another reason to think about the size of the toiletries you pack.
Loganair's standard cabin baggage allowance is relatively compact.
Cabin baggage must weigh under 6kg and must not exceed 40 × 35 × 18cm.
Although a single deodorant doesn't weigh very much, toiletries quickly add up when you're also carrying shampoo, toothpaste, shower gel, sun cream, moisturiser and other products.
Many Loganair journeys are relatively short regional trips, making full-size bathroom products unnecessary for many passengers.
Choosing travel-size toiletries can therefore help with both your liquids allowance and your overall cabin-bag space and weight.
Common Deodorant Packing Mistakes on Loganair
Most deodorant problems are easy to avoid.
Common mistakes include:
Packing a 150ml aerosol in cabin baggage.
Assuming a partly used larger aerosol will be accepted.
Forgetting that roll-on deodorant should be treated as a liquid.
Packing liquid toiletries without considering the one-litre bag allowance.
Assuming every airport operates exactly the same security procedure.
Taking full-size toiletries for a short journey when smaller products would be sufficient.
Forgetting to check the requirements for the return airport.
A quick check of your deodorant container before leaving home can prevent unnecessary problems at security.
Which Toiletries Are Usually Packed with Deodorant?
Deodorant is normally only one part of your wash bag.
Other everyday toiletries might include:
Toothpaste
Shampoo
Shower gel
Mouthwash
Sun cream
Face wash
Moisturiser
Several of these are also treated as liquids, gels, creams or pastes at airport security.
It therefore makes sense to consider all your toiletries together rather than checking your deodorant in isolation.
Packing Deodorant for a Short Loganair Trip
Loganair's network includes plenty of journeys where passengers may only be away for a night or a few days.
For a short trip, you may simply need:
Travel-size deodorant
Toothpaste
Shampoo or shower gel
Face wash
Moisturiser
Shaving essentials
Taking smaller toiletries means less weight and less competition for space in your liquids bag.
It also means you don't need to risk taking a larger bathroom-size deodorant through airport security.

Final Thoughts
Deodorant is allowed in cabin baggage on Loganair flights, and Loganair specifically identifies deodorant among the liquid toiletries passengers may take through airport security.
The main things to remember are straightforward.
Roll-on deodorant should be treated as a liquid. Aerosol deodorant needs to comply with the applicable liquids and aerosol restrictions. Under Loganair's current published guidance, individual liquid containers should hold no more than 100ml and your liquids should fit comfortably inside one transparent, resealable bag of no more than one litre.
And remember that it is the capacity of the container that matters, not how much deodorant remains inside it.

Check the current security requirements at your departure and return airports, choose appropriately sized products and your deodorant should be one less thing to worry about before your flight.
