Your adventure to Austin begins as soon as you've completed all the security checks. We've put together a list of tips and pointers to help you get through quickly:

• Be sure you know the location of your boarding pass and travel ID. You don't want to hold up the queue when you're asked to hand them over.
• It's helpful to know that metal belt buckles can set off the body scanner's alarms. If you're wearing one, you may be instructed to place it in a tray before proceeding.
• Electronic devices such as laptops, cameras and phones will need to be put through the X-ray machine separately. Be sure you can get to them quickly.
• When you approach the security checkpoint, you'll be asked to put all creams, liquids and gels in a separate tub for scanning. Make sure they're all stored in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and sealed in a clear zip-lock bag.
• Give some thought to the type of footwear you want to fly in. Slippers are great because they're a cinch to step out of for the airport security checks. Try wearing a pair on your next journey!
• The list of prohibited items is forever updating. Read over your airline's official website to find out what is not allowed on board their flights.
