What to bring

  • Clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag up to 12" x 12" x 6".
  • Small non-clear clutch, purse, wallet, or fanny pack up to 6" x 9".
  • Expect security screening and bag checks at entry.

What is not allowed

  • Backpacks.
  • Large non-clear purses or tote bags.

Practical tip

A good rule is: if your purse is bigger than a small essentials pouch, make it clear. That is the safest way to avoid delays or being turned away at the gate.
