How airport security measures will affect you
Published September 28, 2001 by Expedia.com
New FAA, airport, and airline procedures implemented to ensure passenger safety in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks will require passengers to allow extra time to get to and through airports, carry trip documents, and exercise patience.
Here is a list of new requirements, guidelines, and suggestions.
Airport arrival: Travelers are being asked to arrive a minimum of 2 hours before domestic flights and 3 hours before international flights to allow for tighter security procedures.
Check-in: Airport security checkpoints and airline check-in locations require that you present proof of current-date travel. This could include an Expedia.com e-ticket receipt, an Expedia.com itinerary, a boarding pass, or a paper ticket.
E-tickets: If you have an Expedia.com e-ticket, print a copy of your current itinerary or e-ticket receipt to present at airport security checkpoints and airline check-in locations.
