HOLIDAY TRAVEL TIP

SIOUX CITY, IA – Glenn Januska, Director of the Sioux Gateway Airport/Col. Bud Day Field, reminded air travelers that by order of the Transportation Security Administration, passengers planning to travel with liquids, gels or aerosols in carry-on bag to remember 3-1-1.  All liquids, gels and aerosols must be in 3 ounce or less sized containers.  Containers must be placed in a 1 quart-size, clear, plastic, zip-top bag.  Only one bag is permitted per traveler.  It must be removed from a passenger’s carry-on and placed in the security bin for x-ray screening.
Januska added that while this requirement is currently in place, with the upcoming holiday travel season, historically the heaviest travel period, remembering 3-1-1 will help speed up the screening process for all air travelers.
