Travel tips include:

• Early Airport Arrival: account for delays in traffic, parking, rental car returns, and air-line checking.
• Use Social Media: tweet or message AskTSA if you encounter issues receiving TSA Pre✓® on your boarding check.
• Prepare For Security: avoid overpacking your carry-on bag and consider checking bags to make things easier. Make sure IDs are valid and boarding passes are readily available to speed things along.
• Follow The Liquids Rule: liquids, gels, aerosols, creams, and pastes must be 3.4 ounces or less and all containers must fit inside a single quart-sized plastic bag and be placed in a bin for carry-on baggage screening. This includes sunblock and tanning lotions.

Guests will also learn about the benefits of TSA’s pre-check program, which allows travelers to leave on their shoes, light outwear and belt, keep their laptop in its case, and keep size compliant liquids/gels in their carry-on bag to lessen hassle.

It will be located in the Terminal B Baggage Claim area.
