Effective immediately, the Transportation Security Administration and the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority has implemented the following changes:
No liquids or gels of any kind will be permitted in carry-on baggage. All of these items must be in checked baggage. This includes all beverages, shampoos and conditioners, lotions and creams, toothpaste, hair gel, and all products of similar consistency. [/list:u]
The only exceptions noted pertain to baby formula, prescription medication, insulin and other essential non-prescription medicines. Labeled prescription medications must carry the same name as the ticketed passenger.
Passengers boarding flights to the United States will also be requested to remove footwear for additional screening. For all other flights, including Canadian domestic flights, liquids or gels in containers of any size will not be permitted in carry-on baggage.
International travel
All travellers from the United Kingdom to the United States will be subject to more extensive screening processes. The following apply to all passengers departing from a U.K. airport and to those transferring between flights at a U.K. airport:
- All carry-on baggage must be processed as checked baggage and stored in the belly of the aircraft departing U.K. airports.
- Passengers may take only the following items through airport security in a single plastic bag:
- Pocket size wallets and pocket size purses plus contents (no handbags)
- Travel documents essential for travel (passports, tickets)
- Prescription medication and medical items essential for the flight
- Glasses and sunglasses without cases
- Contact lens holders without bottles of solution
- Baby food, milk and sanitary items needed for the flight
- Unboxed tissues and/or handkerchiefs
- Keys without electronic key fobs
- All passengers will be hand searched. Their footwear and all items carried will be screened.
- All passengers boarding flights to the United States and all items carried will be subject to secondary screening at the boarding gate. [/list:u]
To assist passengers, government agencies are advising travellers to follow these general guidelines:
- Pack lightly to help facilitate airport security checkpoints.
- Cooperate with security personnel at all checkpoints and gates. Security officers will be checking carry-on baggage at gates.
- Passengers should allow extra time and plan to arrive at the airport in advance to accommodate any delays.
- Check with carriers well in advance of flight departures for flight delays or cancellations. [/list:u]
Most major carriers, including Air Canada, have implemented flexible rebooking policies for all UK bound flights.
