If you like the idea of spending more time at the airport bar and less time at the security checkpoint on your way to Leh, just follow these practical tips:

• Airport security staff will expect to see your travel ID and boarding pass as part of their checks. Keep them in a convenient place, so they're ready for inspection.
• Keep in mind that belts with metal buckles can set off the body scanner's alarms. If you're wearing one, you may be asked to step back and take it off before proceeding.
• Laptops need to be taken out of their protective carriers and placed in a tray before being scanned.
• When you get to the security checkpoint, you'll be asked to place all gels, liquids and creams in a separate tub for inspection. Make sure they're all stored in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and sealed in a clear zip-lock bag.
• Airport security personnel will likely tell you to take off your shoes prior to entering the body scanner. Choose a pair that you can slip off easily. There's nothing more annoying than having to do your laces up again and again.
• Some destinations have stringent quarantine laws. Consider where you're headed to and whether or not you're allowed to fly with fruit and meats.
