How do I check in? Your leaders will have your ticket or e-ticket information and help you to check in. As you check in, leaders will hand you your passport, then collect it back again when you are done showing it to airline personnel.

What happens at security screening? Your leaders will return any documents to you that you need for passing through security. To pass through security, you’ll need to place all of these items in a bin for x-ray screening: • Shoes • Jackets • Belts • Carry-on bags • Watches or bulky bracelets • Money belts, fanny packs, neck pouches • All liquids, gels, and aerosols (in 3 oz. containers packed in a quart-sized zip top plastic bag)

It is routine procedure for passengers to be pulled aside for extra screening, so don’t become alarmed if that happens to you. In this case, your carry-on will be opened for inspection. If you’ve packed items in Ziploc bags, this procedure is easier.
