Latest TSA Security Directives

Hi,

Thanks so much

I have a good luggage from Delsey which I have been using for years, since I travel 4 months per year, so I spend quite some money on luggage and was happy with it's performance. New York was my latest addtion to my travel destination.

How disappointed I was when I arrived back to Hong Kong from JFK.

My luggage was equipped with TSA lock and additionally I have a security strap around the luggage tho that doesn't have a TSA lock.

After landing in HKG, at the luggage claim. The look of my luggage was terrible. The strap was cut, and then instead of opening the TSA lock, JFK custom used spiners to open the zipper instead.

So what's the point having a TSA lock when the custom doesn't use it??? Also the luggage is not cheap

When returning fron New Yirk last wednesday we did not pass through passport control. We flew from Terminal 3 JFK to Moscow with Delta Airlines. Will this now cause us some problems as we did not hand in our arrivals card and we did not get our passports stamped?

my flight departs at 5:45 am but I am wondering how early the terminal is open for me to check in?

i am taking a flight that flies me from here to the laguardia airport, and then i have 2 hours to catch my next flight, which leaves from jfk airport. is this enough time to make it? i heard that flights going out of the country, the security checks take longer, sometimes up to 3 hours. since i'm just transferring planes, will i have an issue with this? thanks in advance for any help!

I am traveling tomorrow through JFK to London. Last night I realized that I forgot to change the name on my passport after my recent marriage.
My drivers license is in my new name and I have a copy of my marriage license will this get me through security, help!

I plan to purchase a pack of Back flower remedies (homeopathic remedies - must not to be x-rayed) when I come to the States. How do I pass this through the customs. Pack contains 36 x 20ml drops.
Thanks a lot.

Hi, I will be traveling with 70 lbs. labrador in June. I have made the reservation with Austria Airlines well in advance. What kind of documentation do I need for my dog? I have certificate of vaccination. Is there anything else I need?
Thank you very much.

I will be arriving on a flight from Johannesburg on South African Airlines at 7:50 am. What is the earliest departure I can safely make for a Virgin America flight back to SFO?

I laughed at JFK's website asking travellers to be patient when going through security. Having just travelled from JFK, I can honestly say that I have never seen such impatient security staff at any airport. The way the women on the security desks spoke to some travellers was a disgrace, shouting at them because they had not queued correctly (I wasn't one of the unfortunate passengers, thankfully!). This was at the intial check of the passport and boarding card, prior to proceeding to the bag check. What is it about security staff at airports? Having said that, they were a pleasure to deal with in London. I would consider making a formal complaint about it, but can't see any details for contacting them on the website. Maybe when my jetlag has cleared ...

Can you have toiletries,shampoo,tooth paste etc. in your luggage that is checked in?

Hi,

I am traveling without my child, but I will need to bring my breast pump with me on my trip because I will need to express milk while traveling. Will I have any problems with the pump being a carry on item? I know it may seem strange that I will have such a device without a child present so I wanted to inquire about my situation before I arrive at the airport.

Thank you,

Sarah

I went to the airport too late and I could not check in my luggage. Then I talked to a security guard and leave my luggage next to the gate, and I get on to the plane. I let someone else to pick up my luggage right after I departure. When my aunt was trying to get my luggage, which is the one next to the airport gate, the NYPD talked to her about this luggage and the police called my school to confirm that I am the student. Finally, they let my aunt took my luggage. Will I get any troubles because of this?
