How to get through airport security fast when traveling to IstanbulMake your flight to Istanbul a little bit easier by reading over these practical security tips:
- Have your travel ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be instructed to produce by airport security staff.
- You'll have to pause the tunes for a short while. Earphones and headphones need to be taken off and put in a tub for X-raying. The same goes for items such as keys and coins.
- Electronics such as laptops, cameras and phones will need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Be sure to have them within easy reach.
- When you approach the security checkpoint, you'll be asked to place all creams, gels and liquids in a separate bin for inspection. Make sure they're all stored in containers smaller than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and sealed in a clear zip-lock bag.
- Construction boots and other cumbersome shoes are typically X-rayed by security personnel. It might be wise to wear lightweight sneakers instead.
- Pack any multi-tools or other pointy items inside your checked luggage. Security won't allow these in carry-on baggage.
