  • Laptops must be taken out of their carry bags and placed in a tray before being X-rayed.
  • When you approach the security checkpoint, you'll be asked to place all liquids, gels and creams in a separate bin for scanning. Make sure they're all stored in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and sealed in a clear zip-lock bag.
  • Safety boots and other heavy shoes are likely to be X-rayed at the security checkpoint. Consider wearing simple sneakers instead.
  • Some countries have stringent biosecurity laws. Consider where you're headed to and whether or not you're allowed to fly with unpackaged foods.
