Holiday travel is just around the corner. Here are a few things to keep in mind before your flight to Pensacola.
3-1-1 for Carry-ons = 3 ounce bottle or less; 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag; 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin. One-quart bag per person limits the total liquid volume each traveler can bring. 3 oz. container size is a security measure.
Consolidate bottles into one bag and X-ray separately to speed screening.
Be prepared. Each time TSA searches a carry-on it slows down the line. Practicing 3-1-1 will ensure a faster and easier checkpoint experience.
3-1-1 is for short trips. If in doubt, put your liquids in checked luggage.
Come early and be patient. Heave travel volumes and the enhanced security process may mean longer lines at security checkpoints.
Declare larger liquids. Prescription medications, baby formula, juice and milk (when traveling with an infant or toddler) are allowed in reasonable quantities exceeding three ounces and are not required to be in the zip-top bag. Declare these items for inspection at the checkpoint.
TSA working with our partners. TSA works with airlines and airports to anticipate peak traffic and be ready for the traveling public.
Arrive 2 hours Early
Added requirements of safety and security are imposing new constraints on users of the United States' air transportation network. To ease any inconveniences we offer the following tips to make your trip as pleasant and efficient as possible.
The TSA, as part of its commitment to customer service, has launched "Prepare for Takeoff," a passenger education campaign. The campaign, a collaboration with the aviation, travel and tourism community, includes educational materials, ticket inserts and a new website, www.tsatraveltips.us
Most importantly, all passengers should give themselves extra time. Most air carriers are closing ticket counters 45 minutes before departure so arrive early or you may miss you flight. Please exercise patience.
Every procedure is undertaken to unsure your travel is safe, secure, and efficient. To confirm any new procedures, please check websites for airports you will be using.
