But with your mind\u2019s eye fixed on your destination it\u2019s easy to forget about the journey, particularly security screening at the airport. The good news is that being prepared can help you <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catsa.gc.ca\/LI-breezethroughsecurity\">breeze through the screening checkpoint<\/a>, leaving you more time to shop, eat or just relax before your flight.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16125\" src=\"https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/AirportScreening.jpg\" alt=\"airport screening tips\" width=\"328\" height=\"648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/AirportScreening.jpg 328w, https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/AirportScreening-152x300.jpg 152w, https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/AirportScreening-304x600.jpg 304w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 328px) 100vw, 328px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The first step is doing your homework so you know what goes in your carry-on and what goes in your checked baggage. The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) has some handy tools on its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catsa.gc.ca\/\">website<\/a>, including a searchable \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.catsa.gc.ca\/whatcanIbring\">What can I bring<\/a>\u201d list that lets you know where to pack your items and what can and can\u2019t fly. It also has a travel-checklist generator (insert reminder to water plants here), and tips for all sorts of challenges \u2013 from what to do with large sports equipment and medical supplies to travelling with pets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Check out these Quick Packing Tips:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jwtxOC4amh0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>According to CATSA, one of the biggest hold-ups at security is having too many liquids, aerosols and gels. Containers over 100 ml and 1 litre bags that are overstuffed with smaller containers (no seal; no deal) will need to be checked. As for that cup of java or water bottle in your hand \u2013 if it\u2019s over 100 ml, be prepared to chug. Did you know you can download an app to help you pack?<br \/>\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/toOeePrNJk0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>There are some exceptions, like liquids for kids under two years old and medication. You can check out more <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catsa.gc.ca\/liquids-food-personal-items\">here<\/a>. In all cases, the containers should be taken out of your carry-on bag and ready to present to the screening officer for inspection.<\/p>\n<p>Once you hit the front of the line, it helps to have your boarding pass ready to show to the screening officer. You can also speed things up if you put any loose change, keys and small electronics (smart phones, cameras, tablets) in your carry-on bag so you can just drop it in the bin. If you\u2019re travelling with a laptop or other large electronics (gaming console, DVD player) you\u2019ll need to put them in a separate bin. For more information on what you can put in the bins at the checkpoint, you can find it <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catsa.gc.ca\/what-do-i-put-bins\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Travelling with children? See how you can make security easy with your little ones. Go to the Family Line and follow these tips.<br \/>\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gqHvlQgzOlk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nIf you\u2019re still wondering what to do with an item or want more information about security screening, you can always send questions to CATSA on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/catsa_gc\">Twitter<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CATSAGC\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, travel is all about being mobile, so you should definitely download CATSA\u2019s free <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catsa.gc.ca\/mobile-app\">mobile app<\/a>&nbsp;for airport travel tips on the go.
