Traveling To JFK – Tips To Help You
With heightened security since the terrible events of 9/11, TSA has continuously added new rules regarding what is and is not allowed when flying. In an effort to help you be more aware of what to expect as well as how you can better prepare, we invite you to look at a few steps you can take to ensure a quick and effortless trip through JFK on your next flight.
General Tips
- Always have paperwork including identification, boarding pass and passport if necessary when arriving at airport security checkpoints.
- Wear easy to remove shoes and be prepared to remove both your shoes and outer garments such as bulky coats and sweatshirts.
- Pack in layers when packing both your carry on as well as your checked baggage as layers are easier to scan and will lessen the chance that your luggage will need to be searched.
- Remove your laptop from its case when you arrive at security unless you are using a TSA approved checkpoint friendly laptop bag.
- Arrive early to the airport and check in once you arrive. You never know when problems may arise with your luggage or your flights so you are advised to arrive at least one hour early and even more during the holidays as lines may be long.
- Remember to follow the 3-1-1 rule for liquids in your carry on. Each passenger is allowed one one quart zip top bag with only 3 oz or less containers of all liquids and gels. Once you arrive at the checkpoint, be ready to take it out of your carry on and place it separately on the belt for further scanning as well.
- Carry all prescriptions in their original packaging.
- Avoid wearing as much jewelry as possible as it may set off alarms when checking in.
- Dress and act the part. Remember that security is there for your safety and the safety of others. A trip through security is not a time for joking around. The fewer problems you cause, the fewer problems you may expect.
