10 Tips for not stressing at the airport

1 Let prohibited items in your checked luggage 

When you make your case, remember to not take it with you from dangerous objects or leave them in the bottom of the luggage that you intend to leave the hold, only if you are sure it is allowed. That goes for your knife, your Swiss Army knife key chains, your razor blades (except disposable refills), your cutter, but for nunchakus, gas bottle for lighter ...


2 Keep the liquid at hand 

Rather than locking all your liquid containers at the bottom of your bag, be sure to place them in an accessible place immediately, such as in the outside pocket of your suitcase. Remember to check that you do not have more liquid than expected: not mine, it's easy to forget that snow globe brought back to memory is not allowed more than a bottle!

3 Do not wrap gifts 

Speaking of memories ... If you plan to bring gifts in your suitcase, do not pack, you'll have time to do on arrival. Indeed, if one of them looks suspicious, you will lose precious minutes to unpack.

4 Register Online 

It's faster and often, it also allows you to save money. Online registration is usually possible 24 hours before the departure of your flight.

5 Provide bags for your electronics 

So they can pass control of the scanner, bags containers laptops, cameras and consoles will be out of your suitcase. Especially not put anything other than the electronic device in his bag dedicated to the scanner is not disturbed. Finally, it may be necessary to remove and store the camera, so remember to take an easy to open bag.

6 Dress accordingly 

Dressing up as simply as possible. Do not put a hard pull to remove and prefer her jacket. Question shoes, do not wear anything: avoid as much as possible the soles containing gel, which can be a problem (the gel is generally prohibited), and especially rather put shoes easy to remove (if possible without laces ). Do not forget the socks to avoid having to walk barefoot in case you need to remove them.

7 Banish metal 

You pass the gantries today, leave out anything that is metal! Belt, jewelry, badges, hair barrettes, chains or hooks will stay warm in your luggage. For the most coquettish, the easiest way is to drag all your small accessories in a bag and leave it in an accessible location in your bag to put them back after testing.

8 Empty your pockets 

Rather than doing it at the last minute and take the delay before the gantries, plan to put nothing in your pockets. Your keys, passport, cell phone or your watch will be much better in a bag handy.

9 Prepare your papers 

Nothing more annoying than trying his boarding pass or passport at the bottom of his bag ... and not find them. Before leaving for the airport, make sure you have your papers on you, and drag them into a pocket of your bag to put their hands on it as soon as you need it.

10 Arrive early 

The Golden Rule! Everyone is not as organized as you, so please arrive as advance as possible. Always leave half an hour before the start time that you have set to avoid the risk of traffic or train delays.
