Prohibited Items
Food items such as jams, jellies, pepper sauce, kutchela, seasoning, salsas, sauces, syrups and dips will not be allowed through the checkpoint even if they are three ounces or less. We suggest you ship these items prior to your trip or put them in your checked baggage.
Items purchased after the checkpoint can be carried onto planes because these items have been previously screened.
Check-In Time
Kindly consult with your relevant carriers for suggested arrival times. You must have a boarding pass and valid passport to enter the security checkpoint. Give yourself adequate time to check your baggage and move through security.
Security Guidelines
Security Guidelines offer a complete guide to which items passengers can pack in carry-on and checked luggage. These guidelines offer passengers step-by-step instructions on how to pack liquids, large items and potentially dangerous items when preparing for a domestic or international flight.
To minimize delays, pack luggage per the Security’s directions.
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Pack footwear on top of other contents in your luggage. Security officials may want to check your footwear, so keep these items on top for easy inspection.
Step 4
Spread heavy items such as books around in your luggage instead of in piles in one location.
Step 5
Pack prohibited items including tools, sports equipment and sharp objects in your checked luggage. The Transportation Security Authority restricts box cutters, scissors, knives (excluding plastic or butter knives) and other items from carry-on baggage. This rule is true for domestic or international flights.
Tips/Warnings
Passengers with a medical condition may declare liquid nutrition and medicine gels for inspection.
If approved, you can carry the liquid in a carry-on bag.
After packing, measure the height, width and length of your bags and weigh them to ensure they fit the
guidelines of your airline.
If you are in doubt about an item, pack it in your checked luggage and declare it when you arrive at the airport. To declare an item means to inform Security officials about the item and then submit it for inspection.
(Forms are not required.)
Please see the 3-1-1 information guidelines to help you get through the security checkpoints smoothly and quickly:
