Checked and carry-on baggage limits vary according to the airline. Check with the airline with whom you are flying with for exact baggage weight allowances. International air travel security measures prohibit passengers carrying any potentially dangerous items in their carry-on baggage. If there is anything you are not sure of pack it in your check-in baggage. All sharp objects such as the following should be packed into check-in baggage:
Passengers should also be mindful of personal items that could be considered dangerous. This includes any aerosol cans, e.g. hairspray and shaving creams having no lid. Disposable razors can be packed in your carry-on baggage. Procedures for the carriage of liquids, aerosols and gels (LAGs) are detailed in the Security Advice & Information link. Airline check-in counters are clearly designated for economy and business travellers. Check-in times are two hours before departure or as indicated by your airline. Before arriving at the check-in counters, please have your airline ticket (or e-ticket), passport and, if required, your visas ready.
Passengers who need any assistance to board their aircraft should advise airline staff when checking-in. Departing passengers are required to:
A departure card is to be completed by each passenger. To avoid queuing it is necessary to complete the card before entering the departure area. Flight arrival and departure information is displayed on flight information boards and/or TV monitors throughout the terminal. Flight announcements are made over the public address system. Blind or partially-sighted passengers should tell airline staff when checking-in that they require help with departure information. After checking-in passengers should proceed to the departure lounge. Passengers are advised to proceed to the departure lounge to complete emigration and security formalities before entering the lounge proper. All passengers should have ready their boarding pass, departure card and passport. After completing emigration formalities all passengers pass through the security screening point operated by AVL Aviation Security service.
X-ray equipment used by the security service does not harm exposed or unexposed film or computer disk data. Passengers can request hand inspection of cameras, which may require you to open your camera and/or remove the camera lens. Electronic items may be subject to more intensive inspection, e.g. computers. It is at this stage that any Liquids, Aerosols or Gases (LAGs) being carried (not meeting the international requirements) will be confiscated. After completing the security screening formalities passengers are able to collect their pre-purchased duty free items on production of their receipt. There are duty-free shopping outlets in the departure lounge for your last-minute shopping. Each of the international airports has a catering facility. Whilst waiting for your flight please take advantage of the drinks and foods available from the facility. |
