Things
you can do before
you get to the airport
There are a number of things you can do
before you get to the airport to make your
experience at the airport and at the pre-board
screening (PBS) checkpoint more efficient: |
- Check with your airline or travel agent to determine how early you
should arrive at the airport. Recommended check-in times differ by airline
and destination;
- Check with your airline or travel agent to determine how many pieces
of carry-on and checked baggage you are allowed to bring with you;
- Remember to bring your airline ticket and valid Government-issued
photo ID. Government-issued photo ID includes valid driver’s license
and passport. For international flights, remember to bring your passport.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding travel documentation,
please contact your airline;
- Be sure to tag your baggage, including carry-on baggage and portable
computer. For security reasons, you should try to use your business
address whenever possible;
- Some passengers with implanted electronic medical devices, particularly
cardiac pacemakers, cardiac defibrillators and infusion pumps, may be
affected by screening equipment at the pre-board screening checkpoint
and may request a physical search of their person. Please bring medical
information verifying your condition. For more information, please consult
our Special Needs section;
- It is recommended that medication be placed in your carry-on baggage.
Please ensure that it is properly labelled (professionally printed label
identifying the medication or a manufacturer's name or pharmaceutical
label);
- If you have any Special Needs, please consult
with your airline to make any necessary arrangements.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Consult the Permitted and Prohibited Items list to ensure you have not packed items that are not allowed
to be transported by air.
