The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) also offers the following traveling tips to ensure smooth sailing through the airport’s security checkpoint.

  • 3-1-1 for carry-on: 3 ounce bottle or less (by volume); 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag; 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin. One-quart bag per person limits the total liquid volume each traveler can bring. 3 ounce container size is a security measure.

  • Do NOT pack wrapped gifts and do not bring wrapped gifts to the checkpoint.
  • Do NOT pack or bring prohibited items to the airport. Prohibited items list is available online at www.TSA.gov.

Please be advised that the long term and covered parking lots fill quickly during the holidays travel season; therefore, the short term parking may be the only remaining lot available upon your arrival to CCIA.
