Quick Tips for the Checkpoint
You will notice that some technology and equipment changes are actively taking place at the security checkpoint at HIA. For more information on what the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is doing, please visit the "How It Works" section of their website. Should you have any comments or questions about these changes, please contact the TSA directly for more information.

Security regulations require the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to screen 100% of checked & carry-on baggage. The airlines and TSA work together to make the baggage handling process as efficient as possible.

We advise passengers to arrive one hour and thirty minutes prior to their scheduled flight departure to ensure they and their bags have enough time to go through the screening process and be transported to the aircraft.

Due to the changes to the ban on liquids carried on to the plane by a passenger, the TSA is requesting passengers to declare items in excess of three ounces before they enter the security checkpoint. If you plan to carry baby formula/food, medications or other liquids (for medical needs/conditions) onto your flight, please print off and fill out this declaration form, then bring it with you to the security checkpoint.

Prohibited items are weapons, explosives, incendiaries, and include items that are seemingly harmless but may be used as weapons — the so-called "dual use" items. You may not bring these items to security checkpoints without authorization. The TSA is requesting that passengers leave their checked baggage unlocked to avoid the necessity for security screeners to forcibly unlock their luggage should it require inspection.
