Details on Airport Security The Federal Aviation Administration now requires that you have a photo ID and a printed passenger receipt or paper ticket for travel. Examples of acceptable identification include a government issued photo identification card, driver's license or passport. You will not be allowed to pass the security checkpoint without the required documents. Tips for Travel Under Increased Security We at Military Historical Tours want you to feel confident and safe about your travel plans. The airlines have worked closely with the Federal Aviation Administration to ensure that airport facilities and aircraft meet all security requirements. Increased security measures have changed the airport security screening procedures to which travelers have become accustomed. As you prepare to travel, please use the following checklists to ensure the best travel experience. Should you have any questions, feel free to contact our office or your Tour Director at anytime. How to Pack Airport security screening procedures will be significantly more stringent than before. Items in your carry-on that may have passed through before may not be accepted onboard aircraft today. Examine everything that you normally pack in your carry-on and evaluate whether an object could be scrutinized by airport security. (For example, sharp items in manicure kits.) Consider removing anything that could be perceived as threatening or may raise suspicion at a security-screening checkpoint. No knives of any size will be accepted. Avoid overpacking so that carry-on luggage and checked suitcases can be opened and closed with ease. Getting To The Airport Confirm your flight status before proceeding to the airport. You can do this by calling the airline directly. Customers are encouraged to arrive at the airport at least two hours before their scheduled departure for domestic flights, and at least three hours before international flights. Upon Arrival At The Airport Aircraft security personnel will be completing thorough sweeps of all airport properties and facilites. Expect to see an increased presence of law enforcement personnel outside and inside the terminal building. At The Security Checkpoint Access beyond security is now restricted to passengers and employees only. Have your ticket paperwork available, along with your photo ID. You will not be permitted past the security check-in area without these documents. Be prepared to demonstrate the operation of electronic equipment such as laptops, cell phones, etc. Be prepared for increased passenger and baggage-security screening. At The Gate Maintain your sense of awareness and keep your possessions with you at all times. Expect to see law enforcement personnel and dogs. Keep your ticket paperwork and identification on hand and readily available. Upon Arrival At Your Destination Have your luggage receipts available when retrieving luggage for verification. |
