Travel Tips
Following these tips will help you reduce your
wait time at the security checkpoint.
Before the Airport
- Do not pack or bring Prohibited Items to the airport.
Read the Permitted and Prohibited Items list.
- Place valuables such as jewelry, cash and laptop
computers in carry-on baggage only. Tape your business
card to the bottom of your laptop.
- Avoid wearing clothing, jewelry and accessories
that contain metal. Metal items may set off the alarm
on the metal detector.
- Avoid wearing shoes that contain metal or have thick
soles or heels. Many types of footwear will require
additional screening even if the metal detector does
not alarm.
- Put all undeveloped film and cameras with film in
your carry-on baggage. Checked baggage screening equipment
will damage undeveloped film.
- Declare firearms & ammunition to your airline
and place them in your checked baggage.
- If you wish to lock your baggage, use a TSA-recognized
lock.
- Do not bring lighters or prohibited matches to the
airport.
- Do not pack wrapped gifts and do not bring wrapped
gifts to the checkpoint. Wrap on arrival or ship your
gifts prior to your departure. TSA may have to unwrap
packages for security reasons.
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 these documents more than once.
Place the following items IN your carry-on baggage
or in a plastic bag prior to entering the screening
checkpoint:
- Mobile phones
- Keys
- Loose change
- Money clips
- PDA's (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.
