A few required things

You will clear a full TSA checkpoint downtown — the same rules as the airport apply.

Secure Flight details

Exactly as shown on the government ID you will present at the checkpoint.

Security notices

REAL ID or passport required▾

All travelers must present a REAL ID-compliant license or a valid passport at the checkpoint — the same ID you would show at Newark.

Hazardous materials advisory▾

Federal law forbids hazardous materials aboard aircraft and secure ground vehicles — including explosives, compressed gases, flammable liquids and solids, oxidizers, poisons, corrosives and radioactive materials (49 U.S.C. §5124).

Additional prohibited items▾

Standard TSA carry-on and checked-bag rules apply from the moment you are screened. See the TSA's official guide for the full list.

Secure ground transportation notice▾

After screening you will remain in a sterile area and board a secure vehicle operated under TSA-approved procedures. Leaving the sterile area before departure voids your screening, and you will need to re-clear security at the airport.

I have read and agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and acknowledge the security and onboard restrictions above.
