• GIG Airport Overview
  The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued the following tips to help air travelers accommodate and assist the heightened security measures implemented since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Travelers should note that they will now be limited to one carry-on bag and one personal item on all flights. Allow extra time: The heightened measures require more time to properly screen travelers. Travelers should contact their airline to find out how early they should arrive at the airport. Take public transportation to the airport if possible. Parking and curbside access is likely to be controlled and limited. Curbside check-in is available on an airline-by-airline basis. Travelers should contact their airline to see if it is in place at their airport. Check-in: A government-issued ID (federal, state or local) is required. Travelers may be asked to show this ID at subsequent points, such as at the gate, along with their boarding passes. Automated check-in kiosks are available for airlines that have appropriate security measures in place. Travelers interested in this option should check with their airline. E-ticket travelers should check with their airline to make sure they have proper documentation.
