In two weeks I will be heading off on a fabulous tropical vacation that I have been waiting for all year. The sun, sand, and ocean are just waiting for me and all that stands between me and there is the airport. Nothing can put a downer on a vacation more than having to wait on long lines to clear airport security and deal with other antsy travelers who are just as frustrated. So I've come up with a few tips to help get through the airport and on our way to our dream vacations.
One of the most frustrating things that can happen to you at the airport is having security tear your bags apart, displaying all your personal items in front of everyone. The best way to avoid this and to check your bags quickly and hassle free is to pack smartly. You can find the rules and regulations online provided by the TSA to aide you when packing. If you have to questions something, leave it home. Never pack explosives like lighter fluid or flares, and be careful with the liquids.
Besides knowing how to pack, you should also know how to dress. Wearing a lot of jewelry or clothes with too much metal on them is just asking for trouble. If you stick to wearing only the bare necessities you'll make your life much easier and clear airport security much quicker. If you travel often you can also sign up for a flyclear program like one offered by ClearMe which helps you skip to the front of the line and go right through.
When you're packing, be cautious of what bag you put your liquids in. You can only bring a 3 ounce container of liquid on the plane with you. Not all travel sized toiletry products fall within those guidelines, so just pack them in the bag you will check, or just buy them when you get to your destination. Whatever you do, don't put bottles of liquids in your carry-on bag all the way at the bottom and think you won't get caughtbecause you will. Your bag has to go through an x-ray machine; they will see it and take it away.
The next time you are traveling, keep these tips in mind. The easiest way to get through the airport and its' security without getting frustrated is to just pack wisely, dress smartly, and avoid the liquids. Now you're three steps closer to enjoying your long awaited vacation.
