Airline Aeromexico warned her passengers that they needed to arrive at the airport three hours before the departure of direct flights to the USA in order to have time to undergo additional testing. The airline explained that the additional verification is aimed at confirming that the object is indeed an electronic device, and not a prohibited object. Passengers were asked to be ready to demonstrate their devices, which will be checked in their presence.
