• Airport Travel Tips:
  Depending on the time of year, the general rule of thumb is to be at the airport at least 1.5 hours before your scheduled departure. If you are flying on an International flight, you should arrive at the airport at least 2.0 hours before your scheduled departure. Here are some other helpful tips from the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport:

• Please use the curbside for active loading and unloading only. Airport safety regulations prohibit vehicles waiting at the curb. Give arriving passengers time to exit the aircraft, walk to baggage claim and pick up their bags before expecting them at the curb.

• Film should be packed in carry-on baggage only as new security equipment may harm film in checked baggage.
• Leave gifts unwrapped until you reach your destination.
• Beverages in glass, metal or ceramic containers must be sealed and go through the x-ray unit.
• Check directly with your airline for flight schedules and recommended arrival times.
• Remember only ticketed passengers will be allowed past the security checkpoints. If you are accompanying children or persons with disabilities please contact your airline. Bring a printout of your flight with confirmation numbers if using an electronic ticket.
• If you have a Medical condition that requires you to use or carry a needle or syringe in your carry on baggage you must also have the medication with its pharmaceutical label. If you have a medical implant that is likely to set off the metal detector, it is helpful to bring evidence verifying your medical condition.
• Only one carry-on bag plus a personal item (such as a purse or briefcase) is allowed. Try to limit the amount of metal in your clothes and in your pockets.
• Laptops and other electronic equipment must be removed from their carrying cases before going through the x-ray machine.
• Control all bags. Never leave bags unattended or carry anything onboard an aircraft for a stranger. Report any unattended packages or baggage to airport personnel.
• Random searches of passengers and baggage are in effect at the checkpoints and boarding gates. Baggage may be tested for traces of explosives.
• Place any knives or sharp objects in your checked baggage only. These items will not be allowed passed the checkpoint. Passengers may mail small items home from the information counter if necessary.
• Carry a government-issued photo ID.
• If you have a question or need directions, the airport staff, the Navigator Volunteers wearing purple, or representatives at the information booths are always ready to help.
