Airline Security
 

Whether you are traveling within the Bahamas or internationally, for business or for vacation, preparation is very important.

Packing requirements:

  • Ensure there are no sharp objects like scissors in your carry-on bag. Pack them in your checked baggage.
  • Make sure electronic devices such as cell phones, laptop computers, and portable or electronic games are charged and ready to be turned on for inspection if requested.
  • Pack prescription medication in its original labeled container. Syringes or needles for personal medical use must have the needle guard in place and also be accompanied by the medication in its original labeled container.
  • Never wrap or package gifts. Security personnel may need to inspect them.
  • Pack carefully. Be aware that any substances capable of posing risks to health, safety, property or the environment when transported, such as cleaning solvents, bleach, aerosols or other common items, are not permitted on board an aircraft.
  • Pack your own bags; never let someone else do it.

Items not allowed on board an aircraft in carry-on baggage include:

  • Knives and knife-like objects such as letter openers, scissors, and straight razors;
  • Firearms (contact your airline for more information on the proper procedures for transporting firearms such as hunting rifles);
  • Sporting equipment such as baseball and softball bats, golf clubs, pool cues, spear guns or darts.
  • Restraining devices such as handcuffs.
  • Power tools.

SkyBahamas Airlines may have periodic restrictions that apply to other items not listed here. Be sure to call us at 1-242-377-8777 for more information.

Identification requirements:

  • Travel with a government-issued photo ID such as a passport, drivers licence or voters card. You will be required to show it at the check-in counter and occasionally before boarding your flight.

International travelers:

  • Bring a valid passport (valid six months after you return). Be aware that many countries have additional passport or visa requirements. Have all of your documentation ready well in advance of your trip. Contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for more information.
  • If you are traveling with children, contact the embassy or consulate of all countries you will be visiting to inquire about entry requirements. Immigration authorities in most countries are becoming increasingly vigilant when children are crossing international borders. Whether traveling alone or accompanied by an adult, each child traveling abroad must have a valid passport and may also require supporting documentation.

Airport Requirements:

  • Do not joke about hijackings or bombings. It is against the law.
  • Never leave your bags unattended, and keep your eyes on your baggage at all times.
  • Never accept parcels or letters from strangers for delivery to persons at your point of desitination. Never carry anything onto an aircraft for anyone else.

Helpful Tips - Getting Ready:

  • Label your baggage. Do not use your home address or business title. Please include a phone number. Baggage tags with flaps that hide your name and address are a smart idea. These steps will help protect your anonymity and thwart would-be thieves.
  • Make an inventory of baggage contents and place it in your ticket jacket.
  • Pack lightly. Travel with as little baggage as possible. Check with your airline to confirm how much you can bring.
  • Limit your carry-on baggage. If you don't think you're going to need it on the flight, pack it in your checked baggage.
  • Make photocopies of your photo ID and your credit cards. Leave a copy with a trusted relative or friend at home.
  • Leave a copy of contact names and your itinerary both at home and at work.
  • Verify your reservation and check with the airline before you leave home to make sure that there haven't been any changes to the flight schedule.
  • Wear comfortable, practical and appropriate footwear (e.g., flat shoes), and wear appropriate clothing.
  • Arrive at the airport early for travel. SkyBahamas checks in 1hr 15mins before departure. For international travel, make sure to arrive two to three hours before your scheduled departure time.

At the Airport:

  • Remove all metal from your pockets before you proceed to the screening check point.
  • If you see an unattended or suspicious bag or package, report it to airport security at once.
  • Never give a thief an opportunity. Avoid carrying a bulky wallet or purse. Make sure your purse is closed at all times.
  • Carry travel documents, credit cards, money, and medication on your person at all times.

In-Flight and Upon Arrival:

  • Pay close attention to the safety briefings at the beginning of the flight and know the location of all exits.
  • Inform the crew of any unruly behavior (commonly known as "air rage"). Examples of unruly behavior include verbal abuse, physical assault, intimidating behavior, disregard of smoking regulations, and intoxicated and disorderly conduct.
  • Follow the instructions of the crew at all times, and be courteous.
  • Although the causes of air rage are many, you can help prevent it by avoiding excessive alcohol consumption.
  • When it's time to collect your bags on arrival, do so promptly.
  • Be courteous of other travelers - particularly elderly persons or families with children. A little patience goes a long way toward making the process quick and easy for everyone.
