Traveling With Special Items

Spilled food can damage security equipment and other passengers' belongings. Here is some information about what you can bring with you to the checkpoint.

Food

All food must go through the X-ray machine. Do NOT bring food to the security checkpoint unwrapped, as shown in the image on the above right.

Food must be wrapped or in a container. Unpeeled natural foods like fruit are okay, but half-eaten fruits must be wrapped.

Beverages

After clearing security, travelers can now bring beverages and other items purchased in the secure boarding area on-board aircraft.

There is no restriction on the amount of baby formula, breast milk, or medicines you can bring, but they must be declared and presented for inspection at the checkpoint.
