Luggage

 

IMPORTANT BAGGAGE INFORMATION FOR U.S. TRAVELERS
Please be advised that starting on January 1, 2003 travelers checking bags can expect a new round of security procedures. All checked luggage will be screened at the airport prior to being placed on an aircraft. In order to make your check-in as easy as possible, we offer the following list of suggestions as recommended by the Transportation Security Administration:

  • Bags may have to be opened for inspection. Leave bags unlocked to avoid the potential need for them to be opened forcibly.
  • Do not pack food or beverages in checked bags. Pack footwear on top of other contents. Put personal belongings in clear plastic bags to reduce chances of a TSA screener having to handle them, and spread out - do not stack - books.
  • Do not overfill your luggage. It will be more difficult for the screener to close if it should be necessary to open and examine the contents.
  • Do not wrap gifts. They may have to be opened for inspection.
  • Screening equipment will damage film. Place all film in your carry-on bags.
  • Pack scissors, pocket knives and other sharp items in checked bags, never carry on.

Thank you for taking the time to follow these few steps. We want your vacation to be as pleasant as possible from the moment you leave until you arrive safely back home.

Have a safe trip and enjoy your flight.
