Inexperienced and experienced travellers alike can help ease airport security delays by following these simple guidelines:
NOTIFY YOUR AIRLINE - Advise your airline of any requirements including the need to assist unaccompanied minors, disabled passengers, or carry special medical supplies on board.
CALL AHEAD - Contact your airline to verify flight information and check the status of your flight before coming to the airport.
Arrive at the airport up to two hours before departure for domestic flights and up to three hours before departure for international flights. Carry at least one form of photo ID (Passport for International Flights) at all times. A second photo ID might be required at some airports.
Take only those items truly necessary for the trip. Once at the airport, be prepared to have your belongings searched by security personnel. Laptop computers and other electronic devices might require additional time to clear security.
Pack your medication, passport, jewelry, important documents, and other valuables in your carry-on luggage.
Make sure all luggage, both checked and carry-on, is tagged with the passenger's name. Identification should be placed on both the outside and inside of each piece of luggage.
After checking luggage, passengers should go directly to their gate.
Never leave luggage unattended or under the watch of a stranger.
Do not accept any item from a stranger or carry any package with unknown contents.
Upon arrival at your destination, go immediately to the baggage-claim area to pick up your luggage. Have the claim stubs available.
