Know what you need to pack and where. Currently the airlines are only permitting passengers to carry on three ounces at most of any liquid or gel-like material. Additionally, the substance needs to be inside a clear container packed inside a transparent baggie. If you wish to bring along anything more, you must check it in. Alternatively you can simply buy it when you get where you’re going.
Weigh ahead of time. In order to ensure that your check-on luggage isn’t over the weight allowed, no more than fifty pounds, weigh your luggage before getting into the baggage claims line. Remember that carry-on is still your best bet
It’s a good idea to show up early. Check out the airport website, if they have one, for notice of delays. The rule of thumb is show up two hours early for the average flight.
Update your identification. Certain trips require certain Ids. Brush up on requirements and obtain the proper identification well in advance if you need to.
Wear comfortable - and easily removable - shoes. Nearly every security checkpoint will require that you take off your shoes. Avoid a hassle by investing in a comfortable pair of slip-ons.
No beverages of any sort, not even the ones bought in the secure area, are allowed onboard the plane. Take care of your thirst by consuming your drink before boarding.
Long wait times are difficult for adults, and doubly so for children. Make everyone a little happier by providing your children with puzzles, games or books to keep them entertained.
Do as you’re told. Airline personnel work hard to ensure every passenger a secure journey. Follow the directions they give you and resist the urge to complain or argue.
Airport security will allow passengers to take medications and baby formula when presented with a notice signed by a medical doctor.
Don’t worry, be happy. Life is best when enjoyed. Don’t allow the fear of terrorists or the annoyance of airport security measures to dampen your spirits.
