Clear, Complimentary Bags Available at all Security Checkpoints at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport

GREATER FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – September 11, 2007 – The Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau has made the stringent air travel regulations a little more “transparent” for those flying from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. Destination-branded, clear plastic bags – a Federal Aviation Administration must-have for travelers carrying on liquids such as shampoo, toothpaste, shaving cream or makeup – are now available FREE at all security checkpoints throughout the airport.

The bags, bearing Greater Fort Lauderdale’s tourism logo, are designed to hold several three-ounce containers – the maximum container size that can be carried on to planes.  Travelers who forgot or misplaced their clear plastic bags during their vacation will be able to keep their toiletries in tact, as well as take home a handy, last-minute souvenir from this beach chic destination.  

The Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau is making available approximately one million of these branded bags, and encourages travelers to fly now while supplies last.

“The new branded airport bags are a practical, convenient and effective means of keeping Greater Fort Lauderdale top-of-mind to travelers even after they’ve left the destination,” said Nicki E. Grossman, President of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau. “Not only will travelers always remember their trip to the destination, they won’t have to keep throwing away their favorite hand cream or perfume just because they forgot their clear plastic bag.”
