*The “no-no” list. Some people get well dressed before arrive the airport. This may cost them a lot of time in front of the screens and checkpoints. Instead you can maintain your elegant dress by avoiding wearing accessories, metals, belt buckles, rings, pins. You can also try to avoid shoes with metal or heels. Liquids are not allowed except for travel sized containers through airport security in one one-quart sized plastic. In case you exceeded the check points and bought stuffs from Duty Free, which provides you with a special sealed bag, do not try to open it till you arrive. Keep the seal in case if you are requested to show it for the security staff at some transfer points.
*Pack smart. You have to distinguish between the allowed stuff in your carry-on bag and checked package. For your checked bag, you can put your coat in it instead of hanging it on your arm which will take time while the security checks it through the X-ray. Besides, you have to be careful when backing your things in your checked bags. First, avoid over packing so the screener can reseal the bag easily. If possible, try to spread your things over different bags-you need to check your airline for how many bags you are allowed to have. Do not mass pile of the books or your documents on one side or in front of your bag, try to distribute them between your clothes, that is for hand-checked case where your things will get scattered. Packing food and drinks in your checked bag is also not recommended.
You can have in your carry-on bag a few stuff like your camera, cell phone, purse, laptop battery and so on.
