Packing Tips to Breeze Through Security

This advice is from the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority…

Pack creams or lotions of 100 ml or less in a 1 L clear plastic bag. Larger quantities must be packed in your checked bag.

  • Store your camera and other small electronic devices (smartphone, tablet, etc.) in your carry-on bag.
  • Prescription and essential non-prescription meds may be packed in your carry-on bag.
  • If they are labelled, they will be screened quickly. Have them ready to present to the screening officer.
  • Leave sharp items such as pocket knives at home or pack them in your checked baggage.
  • Drink up or discard your bottled water before security. This applies to all beverages including juices and coffee.
  • Have your boarding pass ready to show to screening officers.
  • Place coins, keys and small metal items in your carry-on before you reach security to avoid setting off the metal detector.
