Permitted and non-permitted items

SENIORS
Knowing about your carry-on items in advance can make pre-flight screening a much less hectic experience for many seniors. Being aware of what aviation security regulations may apply to your carry-on items (such as medication) can make your trip planning go a whole lot smoother. Also keep in mind that some common liquids, aerosols and gels (such as shaving cream or perfume) taken on board as carry-on items, must be in containers of 100 ml or less and zipped up in a transparent 1 L bag. Going through the screening checkpoint well in advance of your flight will ensure you have a great start to your trip. And if you require assistance through the pre-board screening checkpoint, please contact your air carrier in advance. The list below is in alphabetical order and you can click on the + box if you need more information on any particular item.
