Travel Tips



 

 

Checking In
You will be required to have government issued ID when you check-in for your flight. You may be asked to produce this ID, again, at other stages of the check-in process. Please be prepared to show ID as well as boarding cards at each stage of the boarding process.

Automated check-in kiosks may not be available. Give yourself enough time to check-in, in person, at the ticket counter.

If you are utilizing an E-ticket or ticket-less travel, please confirm with your AIRLINE what you will need at check-in. You may need to have a specific written confirmation document such as a letter from the air carrier acknowledging your reservation.

At All Times
Control all carry-on bags. Never leave anything unattended as it could be subjected to tampering.

Never carry anything onboard the aircraft for another person, especially for someone you do not know.

Report any unattended packages or baggage anywhere in the airport or on the airplane to airport security personnel or airline personnel. Please keep these tips in mind as you plan your trips and when you arrive at the airport. Please be patient with the service agents who are there to assist you, they too are experiencing changes to the way they conduct their business each day. If we work together we can make the system safe and effective for every traveler.

At Security Screening
Both carry-on and checked baggage may be subject to limitations at any time. When you plan your travel try to minimize the number of pieces and size of luggage you will be carrying. Check with your AIRLINE prior to departure to determine your best course of action.

Only ticketed passengers will be allowed beyond the screening checkpoint. If you have a medical, parental or other specific, verifiable need to accompany a ticketed passenger, please check with your AIRLINE to determine how they would like you to proceed.

For carry-on baggage, please limit the number and type of electronic equipment you carry with you. This includes cellular phones, paging devices, laptop computers, personal listening devices (CD players), electronic toys and games, etc. The necessity of screening these devices will create delays in your check-in process. Whenever possible you should place these items in your checked baggage.

Please remove ALL knives, scissors, and blades of any type or size from your carry-on baggage. These items should be packed in your checked baggage. They will not be allowed in the sterile area of the airport or on board aircraft.

If you have a medical condition that requires you to carry a needle and/or syringe on your person or in your carry on baggage you must also have the medication that requires such injection on your person. The medication must be packaged with a pharmaceutical label or professionally printed label identifying the medication.

Please avoid carrying bottles of liquid through the screening checkpoint. The necessity of screening of these items will increase your check-in processing time. Please plan to purchase any food items you may wish to carry on board the aircraft once you have completed the screening process. Food, gifts and other services are generally available in the concourses beyond screening. If you have special dietary needs, please contact your AIRLINE to confirm the services provided on your flight.
