Know when to arrive at the airport

Give yourself plenty of time to get to and through the airport. Parking, checking bags and getting through security can take longer during peak travel times. Use our airport guides to find your departure airport’s recommended arrival time which will help you get checked in and to the boarding gate before the cut-off time.

Be prepared for TSA screening

Have your boarding pass and valid ID ready to hand to the agent.

Remove outwear, belts, large metal jewelry, shoes and the contents of your pockets, before getting to scanner so they can be quickly placed in a bin.

Liquids and any personal electronic devices larger than a cell phone must be removed from your bags and placed in a separate bin for screening. And don't forget to empty your water bottles.

Get REAL ID

Starting May 7, 2025, every flyer 18 years or older will need a REAL ID-compliant form of identification to fly within the United States.

Apply for a REAL ID-compliant ID, like an enhanced driver's license or U.S. passport card, early to make sure you have your documents in time for your travel plans.

Check out your state or territory's REAL ID page.

Join a trusted traveler program

Membership in programs like TSA Pre-Check®, Global Entry, Nexus or SENTRI allow you access to the faster security screening lanes at participating airports, where you don't have to remove your shoes, belts, or light jackets, and your 3-1-1 liquids bag and laptop can stay in your carry-on.

Smart packing saves time and money

Know the carry-on limit

You are allowed one carry-on bag that measures up to 22" x 14" x 9" including wheels and handles, plus one smaller personal item. Anything additional or larger must be checked. Read our specific guidelines for carry-on baggage y nuestra política de equipaje documentado para obtener más información.

Know what items are a no-go

As you pack, reference the prohibited and restricted items checklist, and make sure you know what's in your suitcase. Be especially aware of restrictions regarding lithium ion batteries, and devices that use them – including smart bags/self-propelled luggage.

Got liquids?

El TSA liquids rule allows you to carry one quart-sized bag of liquids - aerosols, gels, creams and pastes that are 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less per item - through the security checkpoint. Be sure to keep the liquids bag easily accessible, so that it's simple for you to drop it into the security bin. If you have additional or larger liquids, you’ll need to check them.
