Passengers at Logan International Airport now will be able to keep their airline ticket, passport, and drivers license all in one place with a new ticket jacket offered by the Massachusetts Port Authority. The handy ticket jacket has slots to hold all the documents necessary for airline and federal government security checks, easing hassles for travelers who are required to present identification at least three times. Logan is the first airport to offer such a convenience to the traveling public.

The ticket jackets are available throughout the terminals at Logan and will be distributed by Massport staff during peak travel times. Travel tips to further assist passengers through security checkpoints are listed on the back of the ticket and ID folder. Some of the tips include:
Place items from your pockets in your carry-on or have them ready to be placed in a plastic container at the security scanner.
Place all carry-on luggage on its side on the scanning belt.
Have your cell phone, pager, laptop and other electronic devices ready for a battery check.

In addition, Massport has partnered with the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE) to develop a video to illustrate new security checkpoint procedures. The video will be tested at the Delta checkpoint in Terminal C starting Tuesday, April 9th. The video demonstrates how to approach the checkpoint, what actions passengers should be prepared to take and how to handle baggage and other personal items. If the program proves effective at Logan, AAAE will work with airports across the country to expand the program.

The Massport effort is part of the nationwide program, "Keep American Flying".
