Things to do before you leave home.
To speed up the screening process at the airport, follow these five Packing tips:
- Place all your liquids, aerosols and gels in a clear, plastic 1L bag.
Remember these must be in containers of 100 ml or less.
- Pack your small electronic devices (smart phone, tablet, MP3 player, portable CD and DVD player, camera, GPS device, batteries, etc.) in your carry-on baggage. Be ready to unpack your laptop computer at the checkpoint.
- Pack and keep your medication (over-the-counter or prescription, pills, eye drops and inhalers) in your carry-on for easy inspection.
- Avoid wearing large Metal items (belt buckles, metal snaps, buttons and studs, etc.).
- Dress comfortably with easy-to-remove outerwear, jackets, belts and ideally, slip-on shoes.
