Be Ready for Security
Spend a few minutes ahead of time and prevent delays at security checkpoints. Most countries now prohibit or strictly limit the size of containers with liquids, gels, aerosols, and pastes that you can take in your carry-on luggage. You can use 3.4 oz. (or smaller) containers, placed in one quart-size, clear plastic zip-top bag. BE SURE TO BRING A PHOTO IDENTIFICATION.... DRIVERS LICENSE IS BEST.
