What to Expect

  • Timed entries: arrive 15–20 minutes early.
  • Clear bins and scanners; follow staff prompts.
  • Bulky tripods are discouraged; small stabilizers at staff discretion.

Prep Tips

  • Place small items in one zip pocket for quick bin loading.
  • Have tickets and IDs ready; travel light for speed.

Tip: A compact bag and flat shoes make screening and walking easier.
