Flying out of Dickinson has big advantages (smaller lines, less waiting), and you will find the security/boarding process fairly simple. However, we will still offer you these following suggestions to ensure a pleasant experience:

• Great Lakes Airlines advises travelers to arrive early, at least 60 minutes prior to flight departure time.
   
• Do not pre-wrap holiday gifts you plan to carry onboard the airplane. Security personnel may be required to unwrap and open wrapped packages.
   
• Limit your carry-on baggage. FAA directives dictate that all passengers are limited to one carry-on bag and one personal item (examples include: purse, briefcase, computer/case, backpack). Pack light, fewer check-in and carry-on items will speed the hand searches at ticket counters, and screening at airport security checkpoints.
   
• Be prepared for hand searches of checked baggage at ticket counters, and carry-on baggage at security checkpoints and departure gates.
  For additional security tips, please visit the Transportation Security Administration.
   
• Have photo identification ready upon check-in and at departing gate (example, drivers license, passport).
   
• Only ticketed passengers will be allowed through security checkpoints. Please see airline ticket counter personnel if you have any special needs.
   
• Electronic Ticket customers must bring a printed itinerary or receipt verifying your flight information. You will need this document at the security checkpoint to proceed to gate.
   
• Call the airline prior to departure to ensure flight information is correct, and that the flight is on time.
   
• Help us keep wait times down at the security checkpoints by not packing sharp items. Minimize wearing of jewelry and other metal items when passing through the checkpoints. Be prepared to place all items in a plastic tub for x-ray as well as laptop computers.
   
• Pack your patience, and enjoy your travel experience.
