Here are some quick things to know when travelling.

• Be prepared by knowing and following the rules. Each time TSA searches a carry-on it slows down the line.
• If in doubt, put your liquids in checked luggage.
• Come early and be patient. The enhanced security process may mean longer lines at security checkpoints, especially at times of higher traffic volume.
• Speak to your children about the screening process so that they will not be frightened or surprised. Remind them not to joke about threats such as bombs or explosives.
• When travelling with large amounts of currency or other valuables, you may request to be screened privately.
• Always check the weather at your destination, and prepare accordingly.
• Dress comfortably.
• Bring a neck pillow for the flight.
• Make sure airplane personnel are aware of any disabilities or medical conditions that may require their assistance at some point during the flight.
• Do not wrap gifts before getting on the plane. You may have to unwrap them for inspection.
• Don’t overpack bags. They may need to be screened, causing delays and making it harder to close them back up.
• Book flights early in the day whenever possible. Early flights are less likely to be delayed.
• Always allow airport personnel and airplane crew members to do their job. Interfering with the duties of a crewmember violates federal law.
• Avoid wearing clothing, jewelry or other accessories that contain metal whenever possible.
• Remember that you will be asked to remove your shoes while going through the security checkpoint.
• Always make sure each piece of luggage, whether checked or carry-on, is clearly labeled and secured with an airline-approved lock.
• Keep valuables on you at all times, not in checked baggage.
• Do not put fragile or critical items (keys, medicines, etc.) in checked baggage.
• Always carry a photo I.D.
