Dos and Dont’s at Airport Security

Airport Security is inconvenient, but it is something that passengers must embrace if they want to fly around the world securely. The most you can aim for is to pass security as swiftly and painlessly as possible. That means being prepared and avoiding airport security blunders that will delay you and everyone else down and maybe land you into trouble with the TSA.

Understand Your Custom Limits:

When it comes to custom laws, Australia is one of the most stringent. That means you can’t bring most foods, natural fibres, among other things. Other nations custom restrictions differ, but many are equally as stringent as Australia’s, so do your research before flying.

Do Know What to Declare:

Even if you are permitted to enter the nation with certain products, you may have to disclose them at security like medicines, food, valuables and foreign cash among a few other things.

Restrict Amount of Liquid You Carry:

Try not to carry more than 3 to 4 ounces of liquid with you. Even while this is evident to experienced flyers, novice passengers still arrive with full-sized bottles of shampoos, water, and other liquids in their carry-on bag. Which make the security officer go through all the items and throw them off thus slowing down the line. The guideline has few exceptions, including medications with a prescription, breast milk, and infant formula.

 Don’t Forget to Remove Your Boarding Pass and ID:

You don’t want to be pulling your bag to get your ID while standing Infront of a security guard. Do this while you’re waiting in line, or even better, before you get in line. You’ll not only make things go faster for yourself and the people behind you, but you’ll also save time.

Check the Carry-on Size:

The size of carry-on baggage permitted varies per airline. Some airlines allow 7kg and one small bag, while others allow 10kg plus a laptop bag as an additional item. Before you fly, always check the airline’s website. Whether you’re flying on many airlines, check them all to see if you need to rearrange your carry-on things for each new location.

Don’t Leave Your Luggage Bereft:

Don’t ask someone to keep an eye on your luggage, and don’t keep an eye on someone else’s either. This is a significant security risk; not only may you lose your goods, but you could also violate airport security and end yourself in serious trouble.

Allow Plenty of Time for Travel to and from the Airport:

Each Airline and Airport is unique, and security wait times can vary significantly across nations and airports. Check your ticket to see how much time you have before your flight to get to the airport, but it’s also worth checking the airport website to see if they offer a live wait time function.
