Most important, GIVE YOURSELF EXTRA TIME AND PLEASE BE PATIENT. Every procedure we are undertaking is in an effort to ensure that your travel is safe, secure, and efficient. Please check web sites for the airports you will be using during your trip to confirm new procedures in place!

Prior to every flight airport security officials will be conducting special security measures in the boarding gate area. As these measures are completed, airlines will immediately begin the boarding process, which will include additional security measures applied to passengers. Due to these new security procedures, passengers will need to ensure that they give themselves sufficient time to complete these new processes. So remember when you book your flights, whether you are originating at these airports or connecting through them, leave a margin of time sufficient to make your flight!

GETTING TO THE AIRPORT

1. Please take the time to check local newspapers, public service announcements, and airport/airline web sites to determine if new procedures have been instituted. Security is everybody’s business; please help us to help you.
2. Parking and curbside access may be controlled and/or limited. Parking availability and measures to control parking facilities are subject to rapid change. Current status of these facilities is available on our web site . 

AT THE AIRPORT

3. Vehicles may be subject to search prior to parking. Please reduce the numbers and types of packages and equipment in your vehicle to those necessary for travel or road safety measures.

CHECKING IN FOR A FLIGHT

5. You will be required to have valid government issued ID when you check-in for your flight. Please be prepared to show ID as well as boarding cards at each stage of the boarding process.

8. 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.
9. In addition, 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.

The medication must be packaged with a pharmaceutical label or professionally printed label identifying the medication.
12. Please avoid carrying bottles of liquid through the screening checkpoint. The necessity of screening of these items will increase your check-in processing time. For more informaion please see the TSA's 3-1-1 rule. Food, gifts and other services are available in the concourses beyond screening. If you have special dietary needs, please contact your AIRLINE to confirm the services provided on your flight.

15. 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.
