Travel Tips

• Allow ample time for check-in and security at the airport.
• Make sure you have a government-issued photo ID that can be shown at check-in and boarding. If you have an E-ticket, check with your airline about confirmation and necessary documentation.
• Pack valuables – jewelry, cash or electronics -- in your carry-on bag, since check-through baggage will be screened and may be opened. Tape a business card to the bottom of your laptop.
• If you wish to lock your check-through bag, use a TSA-recognized lock.
• Do not pack wrapped gifts or carry them to a security checkpoint. TSA will have to open such packages, so wrap them on arrival.
• Know what’s banned from air travel. Do not carry lighters or prohibited matches, pack knives or scissors in a check-through bag or leave them behind. Avoid carrying bottles of liquid through checkpoints.
• Declare firearms and ammunition to the airline and place them in checked-through baggage.
• Control your carry-on bags. Never leave them unattended.
• Report any unattended package in either the airport or aboard the aircraft to security or flight personnel.
