TSA Travel Tips For Spring Flyers

April 4, 2012 By Terence Nilson Leave a Comment


73-TSA TRavel TipsIf you have a discounted airline ticket for spring
travel, the TS
A wants to make your journey through airline checkpoints a
pleasant one. Lines can be long at the terminal due to spring break travelers
and people taking vacations before temperatures begin soaring. With some
preparation, airline travelers will breeze through checkpoints at the airport.

Some people begin packing immediately after purchasing their
discounted airline tickets. If a bag
will be checked, packing liquids in that luggage will make things much easier.
Travelers with only a carryon bag should remember the 3-1-1 rule for liquids.
Each passenger may take as many 3.4-ounce containers as will fit into one
quart-sized, clear, zip-top bag. This bag should be removed before the carryon
is passed through the X-ray machine.

Baseball bats, tennis rackets, golf clubs, hockey sticks,
spear guns, and SCUBA knives may not be carried onto a plane but they may be
checked as luggage. Beer, wine, liquor and other beverages may be packed in
checked baggage. The 3-1-1 rule does not apply to sun block sticks so travelers
can stash one in their carryon for quick suntanning between flights.

Travelers with
questions about whether an item is prohibited should use the MyTSA mobile Web
and iPhone app to find the answer. This app also includes a wait time feature
so travelers can see how long they will be holding their cheap airline tickets before boarding the plane. The app is based
on crowd sourcing so everyone is encouraged to use it.

Even less
pleasant than waiting forever to reach a checkpoint is the pat-down that may
follow. Emptying pockets and putting those items into the carryon before
reaching the screener reduces the chance of needing a pat-down. Click here to
find great prices on airline tickets and begin packing like a pro for your
vacation.
