There are preparations you can make before you arrive at the airport to help you move more quickly and efficiently through the new security processes. Here you will find suggestions on how to pack for your trip.
Carry-On Baggage Carry-On Baggage is a small piece of luggage you take onboard the airplane with you. You are allowed one carry-on in addition to one personal item such as a laptop computer, purse, small backpack, briefcase, or camera case. Remember, 1+1. A bag is considered a carry-on, if the bag has an outside dimension that is not greater than 14"x9"x22", however, be sure to check with your airline for specifics. Checked Baggage Checked Baggage is luggage you check in at the ticket counter or at curbside. It will not be accessible during your flight. Below are a number of tips for packing your checked baggage that will help to speed your trip and ensure that your checked bag makes the flight with you. · Don't put film in your checked baggage, as the screening equipment will damage it. · Pack shoes, boots, sneakers, and other footwear on top of other contents in your luggage. · Avoid over-packing your bag so that the screener will be able to easily reseal your bag if it is opened for inspection. If possible, spread your contents over several bags. Check with your airline or travel agent for maximum weight limitations. · Avoid packing food and drink items in checked baggage. · Don't stack piles of books or documents on top of each other; spread them out within your baggage. |
