Place these items in a single 1L clear, resealable plastic bag so the screening officer can easily see the contents. Any containers over 100ml should be placed in your checked baggage.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Know the age restrictions for baby food <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Beverages and food (e.g. breast milk, formula, juice, pur\u00e9es) for children under the age of two are exempted from the liquid, aerosol and gel restrictions. These items should be packed so that they can easily be removed from your carry-on baggage for inspection.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Bring solid snacks for the family<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>While you can\u2019t bring yogurt or peanut butter, you can carry solid food items, such as sandwiches, granola bars and fruit through security when travelling within Canada. You can also bring an empty refillable drink container to refill once you pass through security.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/we9_Z5ruwzU\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Have medications ready for inspection<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Prescription and essential non-prescription medications (e.g. cough syrup, decongestant spray, contact lens solution) are allowed. You can bring them in quantities greater than 100 ml in your carry-on but must show these items to the screening officer for inspection.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>Leave gifts unwrapped<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you\u2019re bringing gifts, leave them unwrapped as their contents may need to be inspected. During the holidays, some airports offer post-security gift wrapping service.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><strong>Keep small electronics in your carry-on<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Bringing your children\u2019s electronic games is a good way to keep them busy at the airport. Small electronic items, including MP3 players (e.g. iPod) and tablets, can remain in your carry-on bag.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li><strong>Dress comfortably<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Make sure you and the little ones can easily remove any bulky outwear including winter jackets and boots with large buckles. These items must be placed in bins provided at the checkpoint for screening.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li><strong>Use the Family\/Special Needs lane<\/strong><br \/>\nCheck if the Family\/Special Needs lane is available when you arrive at the checkpoint. It\u2019s designed to accommodate larger items (e.g. strollers, car seats) and is best for passengers needing more time or help at the checkpoint.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"9\">\n<li><strong>Have your boarding passes ready<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Remember to have all family members\u2019 boarding passes ready to present to the screening officer for verification.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"10\">\n<li><strong>Contact CATSA if you have questions <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you need more information, CATSA can be contacted directly at 1-888-294-2202 or via:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catsa.gc.ca\" target=\"_blank\">www.catsa.gc.ca<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Twitter: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/catsa_gc\" target=\"_blank\">@catsa_gc<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Pinterest: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/CATSAGC\/\" target=\"_blank\">CATSAGC<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12100\" src=\"https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/10-Tips-to-Clear-Airport-Security-2.jpg\" alt=\"10 Tips to Clear Airport Security\" width=\"735\" height=\"1332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/10-Tips-to-Clear-Airport-Security-2.jpg 735w, https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/10-Tips-to-Clear-Airport-Security-2-166x300.jpg 166w, https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/10-Tips-to-Clear-Airport-Security-2-331x600.jpg 331w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pin this as tips to save for later!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12096\" src=\"https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Airport-Security-Tips.jpg\" alt=\"Airport Security Tips\" width=\"1100\" height=\"5095\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Airport-Security-Tips.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Airport-Security-Tips-65x300.jpg 65w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s holiday travel season and that means busy airports.
