For the past several years, airports have seen a great deal of airline and
security alterations. People who don’t like to follow rules also didn't like
new rules and policies they met at airports. However, improvements in security
and betterment in the processes is definitely something to be appreciated.
Knowing the given easy tips for going to airport would help you making your visit successful and smooth without facing any hassles.
Tip 1: Be prepared
for take-off. Before you arrive at the airport, print your confirmation
codes and check-in online. This will reduce the time you are to spend at the
airline desks or kiosks. Search airport parking for being sure that you know
the spot where you will be parking and how long it will take you to get to the
terminal from your car. Some airports offer reserved parking for travelers
during the busy travel seasons as well.
Tip 2: Keep calm and carry-on. Do your best to pack light. If you are taking a short trip and are able to
meet TSA guidelines – do it. Not only will you save on the luggage fee that
most airlines charge, you eliminate the chance of your luggage missing your
plane. Lost luggage can be a big pain and it can take days before your luggage
is found.
Tip 3: Don’t dress to impress. High-heels, fancy accessories,
jewelry, and decorative belts are not the appropriate attire for an airplane
adventure. Many stores offer travel-ready suits that are light weight and won’t
wrinkle for business travelers. Wear comfortable shoes that allow you to walk
comfortably and can easily slip on and off. Cut down on frills and you will be
less likely to lose something in the security check and moving through the
check faster.
Tip 4: Remember 3-1-1. Before you pack your luggage
bag, take out a 1 quart plastic bag and remember the 3-1-1 rule. Any liquid
that you bring on board must be in a 3.4 ounce or less bottle. All liquids that
you have must fit in a 1 quart transparent and sealable plastic bag. Each passenger can only take 1 bag filled
with liquid. So remember, 1 person, 1 bag, 3.4 ounces. Have this bag handy so
that you won’t have to dig through your luggage in line. Check the TSA
regulations before arriving at the airport so that you can declare any special
liquids (baby formula, medications, etc.).
Tip 5: Get ready for a snack attack.
Airports offer a variety of meal and snack options for
hungry travelers. Unfortunately, these options are often expensive and pricey.
Cut down on calories and cost by packing light snacks. We recommend carrot sticks, granola bars, and
fruit leather. These snacks will give you the jolt you need to make it through
the day without weighing you down.
The next time you’re preparing to visit the runway, keep these tips on the
top of your to-do list.
