Avoid delays at Security Screening

May 07, 2013

One of the most common causes of passenger frustration is having liquids and gels taken away at security screening.  Containers larger than 100ml are not allowed in carry-on bags (some exceptions apply).  

Laptops, cell phones, and tablets are all common business travel items.  Packing these items in a briefcase so they are easily removable will help you get through security faster.  Belts and change in your pockets also must be removed so to save time you might want to put these items in your briefcase or purse until after you clear security.  Shoes are also a common item that need to be removed.  Be sure to wear comfortable, slip-on style shoes and avoid those with laces.

Knowing which items are permitted in your carry-on and which are prohibited is also important.  For a complete listing of these items, please visit The Canadian Air Transport Authority website.
