- Emptying Pockets – to avoid getting held up in the security checks, it will be best if you start emptying your pockets even before you reach the security personnel. You can always put your keys, loose change and watch in your hand-carry bag.
- Be Neat – if you will be bringing your charger blow dryer or other items that has wires, you should make an effort to tie these wires properly and securely so they will pass x-ray inspections without a hitch.
- Choose Your Shoes – since passengers are being asked to remove their shoes, it will be so much simpler and quicker if you are wearing slip ons or flip flops.
