The newly imposed passenger restrictions put into place by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration affect all flights traveling within or to the U.S., so this includes the flights from the Cancun Airport flying visitors back home to the States.
The TSA has mandated the following:
NO LIQUIDS OR GELS OF ANY KIND WILL BE PERMITTED IN CARRY-ON BAGGAGE. ITEMS MUST BE IN CHECKED BAGGAGE. This includes all beverages, shampoo, suntan lotion, creams, tooth paste, hair gel, and other items of similar consistency.
Exception: Baby formula and breast milk if a baby or small child is traveling; prescription medicine with a name that matches the passenger’s ticket; and insulin and essential other non-prescription medicines.
Beverages purchased in the sterile area must be consumed before boarding because they will not be permitted onboard the aircraft.
The traveling public can assist these agencies in carrying out their important security duties by:
* Packing lightly, without clutter to facilitate easier screening.
* Check with your air carrier well before your flight departs for information on when you shoudl arrive at the airport.
* Being attentive and vigilant to any suspicious activity.
Passengers should be aware that this means that no duty free liquor, perfume or other liquids will be able to be purchased. If you're planning on bringing home a bottle of tequila or a six-pack of Corona, make sure you purchase it in town and place it in your checked bags.
