A blast from the past is making its return to Ontario's International Airport.
A new program will allow non-ticketed travelers to enter the airport terminal, giving them the opportunity to say goodbye and welcome passengers at the boarding gate, according to a press release.
This will allow visitors to pass through TSA checkpoints and they'll even have the option to dine, shop and spend leisure time at the airport.
"We all remember the excitement of being able to meet arriving family and friends as they get off the plane," said Dean Brown, ONT Public Safety Administrator, who worked closely with TSA in establishing the program. "ONT+ is a way to bring back some of that pre-9/11 experience, in a safe and secure manner."
All visitors will have to fill out a "visitor pass" and once approved, they can bring up to five minors with them. Visitors will not be allowed to bring prohibited items or liquids into the airport during their visit.
