Jersey Airport Departures

Security

Passengers are urged to have their boarding card ready for presentation at the central security checkpoint in the Departures Terminal, where it will be scanned and inspected.

If travelers have printed their tickets themselves, they should make sure that the barcodes are clear and distinct so that they can be scanned. If it cannot be scanned, commuters will require to obtain another boarding pass from their airline’s check-in desk.

In case of not having a mobile phone boarding card, customers should have the screen ready to be scanned.

Being screened

Passengers are urged to remove all outdoor wear, including blazers, jackets, and other heavy clothes, before arriving at the x-ray machine. Another aspect of being considered is to remove waste belts that have metal buckles and place it in the security trays together with any coins or keys from the pockets. A representative of the security team will advise if passengers will need to remove their shoes.

Laptops and other electrical items like mobile phones and tablets have to be removed from the hand luggage to be screened in a separate tray.

Commuters will be required to walk individually through an archway metal detector, which is medically safe. However, if pregnant or wearing a pacemaker, it is possible to ask an officer of the security team for a hand search.

If the alarm is activated when passengers walk through the archway metal detector, they will be hand searched and scanned using a handheld metal detector. If someone has been selected randomly by the archway detector, they will be requested to be screened by an ETD swab, and further screening may be needed.

Commuters are asked to not feel offended if they are searched. Even if the alarm was not activated at other airports, this procedure is necessary to make sure the security and safety of all passengers.

Preparing for a flight

For peace of mind, travelers are recommended to plan their travel carefully and always book help at least 48 hours before traveling. The airport will then make arrangements to make sure the requirements are met. If someone is planning to travel with their electric wheelchair, they must advise their airline in advance as some aircraft are restricted to what it can carry.

All passengers are urged to check-in at least 90 minutes before the scheduled time of departure.
