Going through the security checkpoint
How does the security checkpoint work?
Keep your boarding pass within easy reach: you will have to show it to the checkpoint agent.
Place your personal items in the available trays, separated from your hand baggage:
Your accessories
Belts, coats, jackets, hats, scarves, etc.
Liquids, gels and aerosols smaller than 100 ml/3.4 oz
In one closed clear plastic bag.
Your electronic devices
Cameras, laptops taken out of their bags, telephones, etc.
Your metal objects
Keys, coins, belts, etc.
Any other object indicated by a checkpoint agent
Shoes, etc.
The checkpoint agents will be there to guide you. Please follow their instructions and pass under the checkpoint security scanner. Please note: in accordance with current regulations, checkpoint agents can perform random searches (baggage or body search).
Wait times can be long at the security checkpoint. For greater peace of mind, try to arrive early at the airport.
