Please put your name, address and phone number on all of your luggage and carry-on items. As always, make sure you keep your luggage with you at all times. To assist in the security screening process, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) asks that you either leave your bags unlocked, or use a TSA-recognized lock to lock your bag.
Prohibited Items To enhance security and speed you through the security screening process the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) prohibits some items in your checked and carry-on luggage. Please visit Permitted and Prohibited Items to learn what is permitted in your luggage.
Carry-on Items All essential items, such as medications and important travel documents, should be included in your carry-on items.
Federal directives allow only two carry-on items per passenger. You may bring one bag and one personal item such as a purse, camera case, small backpack, briefcase, laptop computer or shopping bag. Items such as strollers, pillows, diaper bags, and tennis rackets are all considered personal items. For specific carry-on item size restrictions, please contact your airline.
Passengers traveling domestically – age 18 and older – are advised to carry a government-issued form of identification at all times. Most international travel requires passengers – regardless of age – to have a valid passport. Check with your airline for documentation requirements.
Checked Luggage Federal directives allow only two bags per passenger. Contact your airline for weight and size restrictions.
If you have checked baggage and your plans change after checking in, contact your airline immediately to retrieve your luggage.
If you are checking baggage and wish to stand by for an earlier flight, you must inform your airline's ticket counter so your baggage can be tagged accordingly.
Gifts Please leave all gifts unwrapped when traveling through the airport, because they may require opening for security inspections. This applies to both carry-on and checked baggage.
