Security at Hilton Head Island HHH Airport Before going through passenger screening, all passengers must present both their identification and their ticket. This is in addition to the requirement to present their identification at the airline ticket counter.
Passengers are now limited to one piece of carry-on baggage per person, plus one personal item (purse briefcase, laptop computer, backpack, etc). Carry-on baggage cannot exceed a combined weight of 40 pounds and is limited in size to 4 inches by 23 inches by 45 inches for valet closet storage, (hanging bags), 10 inches by 16 inches by 24 inches for overhead bin storage, and 8 inches by 16 inches by 21 inches for under-seat storage.
Do not bring wrapped gifts in your checked luggage or your carry on luggage - they will have to be unwrapped so that the contents can be examined.
Passengers arel required to maintain control of their baggage at all times. All airport patrons must be on the lookout for unattended baggage and suspicious activity in and around the airport. Report any concerns to Law Enforcement personnel.
Make Your Trip Better Using 3-1-1 3-1-1 for carry-ons = 3 ounce bottle or less (by volume); 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 TSA searches a carry-on it slows down the line. Practicing 3-1-1 will ensure a faster and easier checkpoint experience. 3-1-1 is for short trips. If in doubt, put your liquids in checked luggage.
Declare larger liquids. Medications, baby formula and food, and breast milk are allowed in reasonable quantities exceeding three ounces and are not required to be in the zip-top bag. Declare these items for inspection at the checkpoint.
ONLY PASSENGERS will be permitted into the secure gate area (after inspection by airport security). All others must remain in the main terminal lobby.
