Before Packing:

  • Liquids, gels, and aerosols packed in carry-on must follow the 3-1-1 liquids rule:
    • 3.4 ounces or less per container
    • 1 quart size, clear, plastic, zip top bag (all liquids must fit in bag)

  • Tape a card with your name and contact information on your electronics.

At the Airport:

Each adult traveler needs to keep available his/her airline boarding pass and government-issued photo ID until exiting the security checkpoint. Due to different airport configurations, at many airports you will be required to display your boarding pass more than once.

  • Mobile phones
  • Keys
  • Loose change
  • Money clips
  • PDAs (personal data assistants)
  • Large amounts of jewelry
  • Metal hair decorations
  • Large belt buckles
  • Take your laptop and video cameras with cassettes OUT of their cases and place them in a bin provided at the checkpoint.
  • Take OFF all outer coats, suit coats, jackets, and blazers.
