Here's the Latest Update on Airline Security Rules









Here’s the latest information on travel policy changes and itinerary updates related to last week’s airline terrorism incidents in London:


U.S. officials issued further changes to airport security rules over the weekend. Please read the updated rules at this link today: www.tsa.gov. Among other changes, your clients will now be absolutely required to remove their shoes at security checkpoints, and they’ll notice more canine searches and random bag searches at the airport. The rules can be confusing; for example, mascara is now prohibited, while solid lipstick is allowed, and separate gel inserts in shoes are prohibited while built-in gel supports in shoes will be allowed. The best advice? Pack as much as possible in checked luggage, and carry on as little as possible for your flights.


Please note: reconfirm your international flights at least 72 hours prior to departure and again 24 hours to make sure of any chnages. Try to check into your international flights 3-4 hours prior due to long security lines. Check individual airports as some may even need more time than this.
