Before you Take off

It's really easy to make your time at the airport a relaxing and pleasant experience.

The Transportation Security Administration constantly updates its policies
to make your travel safe. For a comprehensive list of travel tips, please visit
the TSA web site

PACKING YOUR LUGGAGE

• Airlines allow one carry-on bag and one personal item per passenger, which may be a briefcase, purse, laptop, or items of similar size. Carry-on bags cannot be larger than 22" x 14" x 9" or weigh more than 40 lbs. and must fit in the overhead compartment or under the seat.
• Usually, airlines allow 2 checked bags per passenger. They must weigh less than 50 lbs and the height + width + length of each bag cannot exceed 62" total. Baggage allowances may vary by carrier or class; check with your carrier before you pack.
• Keep valuables, undeveloped film and medicine in your carry-on luggage.
• Avoid packing prohibited items. See TSA’s list of prohibited items.
• Place identification tags on and inside of all baggage.
• Whether packed or carried on, leave gifts unwrapped; TSA may open them for inspection.

ARRIVE EARLY

• Sundays mid-day and Monday and Tuesday mornings are the busiest times at Mobile Regional Airport: more traffic, longer lines at ticket counters & security check points. Plan accordingly.
• Airlines ask passengers to be at the airport 90 minutes before a domestic flight, and two hours before an international flight.

BRING PROPER DOCUMENTS

• Airlines require a government issued photo ID.
• Bring your boarding pass or get one at the ticket counter.
• It's a good idea to have your reservation confirmation number if you are using an E-ticket.
