Thanks for your comments.

I have an international flight in two weeks. Ugh. I haven't received a definitive statement on everything I have to do and have to leave behind. My family member sent me a copy of a statement to one of the Amer. embassies saying they have to be at the airport 3 hours beforehand; and that if they are not at the gate one hour beforehand, they will not be allowed to board.

Someone said you can't bring cell phones--do you know if that is true?

What other changes should we be prepared for?

I would doubt that this true. With the valuable serbice the cell fones provided for us during the emergency, I would highly doubt that they are banned. Without paxs calling from the skies we would no much less about what happened than we do now...

We we told to arrive at Tampa two hours before boarding.
Non ticketed people may not enter the boarding areas. My brother had to leave us at the tram which takes passengers out to the boarding area. He was not allowed at the boarding areas.

Cell phones, laptops, were allowed.
