For the past two decades, going through airport security has been a part of life. Sometimes it goes smoothly, and other times the TSA check can be the most harrowing aspect of the flying process. As no one gets onto the plane without doing it, here are some tips to at least make it quick and easy. 

Dress Smartly

One of the hassles involved in the TSA check is having to remove certain items of clothing, particularly shoes. To make this easier, opt for footwear that can be easily removed and put back on. So, no strappy sandals.

Keep What You Need Close at Hand

Travelers are required to remove electronic devices from their bags when going through security, so do yourself (and everyone else) a favor by not packing things like your laptop or tablet at the bottom of your bag. It’s always a good idea to wear an outfit with pockets to store your boarding pass, passport, and other items so they’re easily accessed. 

Take Your Time

There’s nothing more stressful than having to go through security in a rush because you are afraid of missing your plane. In most places, airport activity levels have returned to pre-pandemic days, so arrive early enough to give yourself ample time.
