FYI wants everyone to enjoy the holiday season, and offers these timely tips for travelers:

• For all liquids, gels, and aerosols in carry-on, remember the 3-1-1 rule. They must be placed in a 3 ounce or smaller container; these containers must be placed in a 1-quart, clear, plastic, zip-top bag; and only 1 bag per passenger, and placed in a plastic bin for screening. Larger amounts of liquids, gels, and aerosols must be packed in checked baggage.
• Arrive at the airport at least two hours prior to departure – this will allow sufficient time to get through the flight check-in and security checkpoint processes. Your early arrival will also allow airline staff additional time to reroute you if weather is a factor anywhere during your trip.
• The white curb in front of the terminal is for drop-off only. This rule will be strictly enforced and unattended vehicles will be immediately towed at the owner’s expense. Plan to quickly drop-off passengers and luggage at the white curb and then park in the lot.
• Have your reservation locator/flight number and a government issued photo ID for each adult available for the ticket agent. You may again be asked to produce this ID at other stages of checkin, screening and boarding.
• Maintain control of your baggage at all times – unattended bags are subject to confiscation. Never carry anything onboard the aircraft for another person, especially for someone you do not know.
• Limit your carry-on baggage. Electronic devices will delay the screening process. If you have a medical condition that requires you to carry a needle and/or syringe in your carry-on baggage you must also have the medication that requires such injection on your person. The medication must be packaged with a pharmaceutical label or professionally printed label identifying the medication.
• Clearly mark your name and phone number inside and outside of all carry-on and checked baggage and do NOT lock bags unless using a TSA-approved lock. TSA locks are readily available. Samples may be found at www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/assistant/locks.shtm .
• Finally, check with your airline before coming to the airport to reconfirm flight schedules and delays, as well as baggage size/weight limitations.

Safety and security are top priorities for all airport personnel. Passengers can help ensure a smooth security process by following the Holiday Checklist available at www.TSA.gov. Happy Holidays from FYI!
