Airport Travel Tips for the Holiday Season<\/h2>\n

Download CATSA\u2019s app<\/u><\/p>\n

Go to CATSA\u2019s website (catsa.gc.ca) and download their \u201cBreeze through security\u201d mobile app. In addition to wait times, you\u2019ll find information on what you can and can\u2019t bring through security and helpful tips about the screening process.<\/p>\n

Remember the 100ml rule<\/u><\/p>\n

Put large containers of liquids, aerosols and gels in your checked baggage. Only amounts less than 100 ml, placed in a 1 L clear, re-sealable plastic bag, are permitted in your carry-on baggage. This includes beverages and non-solid food (e.g. yogurt, pudding and peanut butter). However, beverages and food for children under the age of two are exempt from these restrictions (e.g. breast milk, formula, juice and purees). Keep these items within reach as they need to be inspected separately.<\/p>\n

\"holiday<\/p>\n

Leave gifts unwrapped<\/u><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re bringing gifts, leave them unwrapped in case their contents may need to be inspected. Some airports have gift-wrapping services located past security during the holiday season.<\/p>\n

How to pack your electronics for airport security <\/u><\/p>\n

Bringing your children\u2019s electronic games is a good way to keep them busy at the airport. To save time leave small electronic devices like tablets, e-books, cameras and handheld video games in their cases or in your carry-on baggage for screening, then simply place the case or baggage in the bin. If you travel with large electronic items like laptops, DVD players, netbooks, notebooks or game consoles (Xbox, PlayStation, etc.) you need to remove them from your carry-on baggage and place them separately in a bin. Make sure there are no other items on top or underneath.<\/p>\n

\"airport<\/p>\n

Choose easy-to-remove outerwear<\/u><\/p>\n

Make sure the little ones can easily remove winter jackets, boots and hats. These items must be placed in bins for screening.<\/p>\n

Look for the Family\/Special Needs lane<\/u><\/p>\n

If you need help at the checkpoint, look for the Family\/Special Needs lane. It features screening equipment that can accommodate larger items, like car seats and strollers, and screening officers who offer additional assistance.<\/p>\n

Have your boarding passes ready<\/u><\/p>\n

Remember to have all family members\u2019 boarding passes ready for inspection.
