Parking

 

 

• Get to the Airport early. John Wayne Airport encourages passengers to arrive at the Airport 1-1/2 to 2 hours prior to their scheduled departure to allow ample time for parking and to complete the check-in and security screening process.

• Check in and print your boarding pass via the Web to cut down on time in line, or use the self-service kiosks in the Terminal whenever possible. If you're traveling with American Airlines, try the Paperless Boarding Pass.
• Check your flight status before heading to the Airport by visiting John Wayne Airport's real-time Arrivals and Departures or your airline's Web site.
• Plan for a healthy trip - Tips on how to stay healthy while traveling are available on the CDC Web site (Centers for Disease Control & Prevention).
• Have your government-issued photo identification and your boarding pass readily available until you clear security. Children under the age of 18 do not require an I. D. (View passport requirements for international travel).
  

• Use curbside check-in service when available. It is as easy as dropping off your bags curbside with a skycap and proceeding through the security checkpoints to your gate. If you have a boarding pass and no check-in luggage you may go directly to the security checkpoints.
  

  Curbside check-in service is offered by American Airlines, Delta Airlines/Delta Connection, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines and US Airways/US Airways Express.

• Familiarize yourself with the new Self Select Security Lanes:
   
  

  	Expert Lane - for the seasoned traveler who knows how to get through checkpoint quickly & efficiently.
  	Casual Lane - for travelers who are somewhat familiar with the security procedures and don't want to be rushed through the security checkpoints.
  	Family/Medical Liquids Lane - for travelers traveling with small children or with the need of special assistance. Travelers with medical liquids in excess of 3 ounces are requested to use the Family/Medical Liquids lane and declare these items for inspection at the checkpoint.

  
  Visit TSA's Web site for more information on Self Select Lanes...

• Only ticketed passengers will be allowed beyond the security checkpoints.  
• The Airport is open early to accommodate passenger check-in for early morning flights:

 

• “1+1” rule: You are allowed one carry-on bag and one personal item – such as a purse, briefcase, laptop computer or diaper bag – through security screening and onto the aircraft.
• Only pack permitted items in your carry-on and checked luggage. Visit the TSA Web site for specific information on Permitted and Prohibited, and Food and Gift items.
• Snow Globes - Due to current restrictions on liquids, snow globes of any size are not allowed to be carried through the airport security checkpoint. Please pack in checked luggage.
• Do not wrap gifts, as they are subject to search - even if placed in checked baggage. Follow the TSA guidelines on how to pack food and gift items.
• Loose lithium batteries are NOT permitted in checked luggage due to federal safety rules.
• Place film in your carry-on luggage because checked baggage screening equipment may damage undeveloped film.
• Powders in Carry-on Lugagge: While permitted in your carry-on luggage, powders may require additional screening. The vast majority of commonly carried powders, like most medication, infant formula and makeup, are unlikely to need further screening. Find out more about this requirement on TSA's Web site...
• All carry-on items (including cell phones, lap-tops, and film) will be x-rayed. Be prepared to place cell phones, keys, pagers, etc. in a carry-on bag, take laptops out of their carrying case, and take coats and jackets off for X-ray inspection. Separately, place all permitted liquids contained in one quart-size zip-top bag into a security bin. All passengers will be required to remove their shoes for inspection at the screening checkpoints.
• Make sure to thoroughly check your luggage before leaving for the airport to avoid mistakenly carrying on prohibited items.
• Never leave your baggage unattended in the Terminal!

 

Limit the amount of liquids, gels or aerosols in your carry-on baggage to the following:

Containers with 3 ounces or less of liquids, gels or aerosols may be placed in carry-on baggage, carried through the screening checkpoint and carried on board the aircraft following the 3-1-1 for Carry-Ons rule.

 

3-1-1 On Air Travel
	ounces or less size containers of liquid or gel
	quart-size, clear plastic, zip-top bag holding 3 ounces or less containers
	bag per traveler placed in the security bin

 

Declare the following items for inspection at the checkpoint prior to screening. The items listed below are allowed in reasonable quantities exceeding three ounces and are not required to be in the zip-top bag. Passengers are requested to use the Family/Medical Liquids Lane and declare these items for inspection at the checkpoint:

• Prescription and over-the-counter medications (liquids, gels, and aerosols) including eye drops and saline solution for medical purposes in reasonable quantities exceeding three ounces.
• Baby formula and juice (when traveling with an infant or toddler) in reasonable quantities exceeding three ounces. Mothers flying with, and without, their child will be permitted to bring breast milk in quantities greater than three ounces.
• Liquids including water, juice, or liquid nutrition or gels for passengers with a disability or medical condition.

If in doubt, please pack the item in your checked baggage or visit the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) web site at http://www.tsa.gov for additional travel tips.
