Pack My Bags
3-1-1 for Carry-Ons
3-ounce bottle or less; 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag; 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin. One-quart bag per person limits the total liquid volume each traveler can bring. 3 oz. container size is a security measure.
Consolidate bottles into one bag and x-ray separately to speed screening. Be prepared. Each time the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) searches a carry-on, it slows down the line. Practicing 3-1-1 will ensure a faster and easier checkpoint experience.
Declare Larger Liquids
Prescription medications, baby formula and milk are allowed in quantities exceeding three ounces and are not required to be in the zip-top bag. Declare these items for inspection at the checkpoint. The name on the bottle must be the same as the person traveling.
Come Early and Be Patient
Heavy travel volumes and the enhanced security process may mean longer lines at security checkpoints. Delta strongly suggests the following arrival times:
Domestic Flights
Arrive at least 90 minutes before departure time.
International Flights
Arrive at least 2 1/2 hours before departure time.
Flights for Unaccompanied Minors
Arrive at least 2 1/2 hours before departure time.
Bags that are larger than 62 linear inches will not be allowed in-cabin and are subject to be denied on the aircraft. If you are unsure whether or not your bag is too large, please arrive at least 90 minutes prior to departure time so you can double check at the baggage counter.
