  • Have your boarding pass and travel ID easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be instructed to produce by security staff.
  • You'll have to stop the music for a few minutes. Headphones need to be taken off and put in a tub to be X-rayed. The same goes for items such as keys and coins.
  • All laptops must be removed from their protective cases and placed in a tub for inspection.
  • When it comes to traveling with gels and liquids, each passenger is permitted a quart-sized clear resealable bag to keep containers no bigger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
  • Consider the type of footwear you want to fly in. Slippers are awesome because they're easy to remove when you're doing the airport security checks. Try wearing some on your next journey!
  • Pocketknives and corkscrews are prohibited inside the plane. Put them in your checked luggage to avoid them being confiscated at the airport security checkpoint.
