Air carriers ask that you be at the airport 90 minutes before your flight. This will allow time to check-in, handle any security waits and be at the gate on time as most flights are expected to be full.
Travelers may bring one carry-on bag and one personal item, such as a purse or laptop.
Liquids, gels and aerosols as carry-ones must be in: three ounce containers or smaller that are placed in a one quart, clear plastic zip-top bag. Limit one zip-top bag per passenger.
Do not wrap gifts as officers may have to search contents of packages.
Before leaving home, check your air carrier’s website to make sure your flight is on-time and check-in online if possible. However, those checking luggage will still need to stop at the airline ticket counter.
For quick pick-up, customers may use metered parking in front of baggage claim.
