Remember to pack your bags to security guidelines
Travel Tips:
If you have ever flown during the busy winter months, you know that airport security can be busy. Preparing for the screening process and becoming familiar with the rules contributes to a smoother and quicker procedure for everyone. It also reduces delays.
Simple guidelines from the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) include leaving liquids, aerosols and gels such as suntan lotion and other personal products such as creams or perfume in your checked baggage. Laptop computers must be placed in trays at security checkpoints, while cell phones, MP3 devices, E-readers and portable DVD players may remain in your carry-on baggage. Sports equipment is not permitted to be in carry-on baggage and should be checked in with the airline.
Are you traveling with the family? Baby formula, food, juice and other baby items are exempt from the carry-on rule for infants aged 0-24 months. Families and travellers with special needs can enjoy a dedicated security line.
