Preparing for your Trip
Things you can do before you go 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 Non-Permitted Items list to ensure
you have not packed items that are not allowed to be transported by air.
