Airline Security Information

Logan International Airport is one of thirteen airports in the US that is being used as a test site for security measures. Athletes should be aware of the following upon departure from Boston:

  • No metal (not even heavy jewelry or belt buckles) or wrapped items in carry-on luggage or on-person.
  • Pack everything possible in checked luggage.
  • Indoor weights and shots must be packed in checked luggage. They will be confiscated at security if found in carry-on luggage and may be destroyed.
  • Vaulting poles are accepted at Logan if air carrier permits them to be checked. Should athletes get separated from their poles because of change in flights after check-in, poles will be handled as luggage and held for pick-up or delivered by carrier to athlete.
  • No trucks for vaulting pole storage nor pick-up will be allowed curbside at Logan. Vaulters are encouraged to ship poles directly to Reggie Lewis. Poles may be shipped to: Reggie Lewis Track & Athletic Center, 1350 Tremont Street, Roxbury, MA 02120
  • US Airways does not accept E-tickets at the Logan boarding gates. Anyone flying US Air must check-in either at the kiosk or ticket counter in the ticket lobby prior to proceeding to the security checkpoint.
  • If an item is in doubt as to whether it will pass security, passengers should pack it in their checked luggage.
