To reduce the waiting time at the security checkpoint, remove your laptop from your bag bag, take off your shoes and belt if necessary to make the checks faster. Another problem you may face is losing your passport or ID, so keeping the number of the embassy and consulate with you just in case you lost any document is helpful, keep a copy of your documents as well. Look carefully at your tickets information and your gate, some airlines have several terminals, make sure you know which one is yours to avoid losing extra time. Make sure that all liquids are in appropriately sized containers before heading to the airport. Another tip is when to go to the airport early to avoid wasting time at check-in security and TSA. During TSA security there may be long lines, so to get to your flight faster be a collaborator and answer any questions the officers may ask, as well as not being suspicious and waste your time. In the case of overweight luggage and you should pay an extra fee, you may ask some time to take your overweight suitcase to the side and take some items off or put them in another suitcase.

Flight delay:

One of the most common problems you may experience during your travel is flight delayed, and to pass this easily there are several things to do. If you want to know more details you can ask the gate’s clerk, no one know better than them. If the delay is caused by bad weather, the airline company isn’t responsible for this but in some airlines, the passengers are rebooked and only given a distressed rate for a hotel. To pass your waiting time in comfort you should keep hydrated, that many passengers feel parched as a result of their flight being delayed. When flights are delayed some airports present complimentary Wi-Fi and you are allowed to connect for free while on a layover, so you can watch a movie, catch news, and keep your children busy with entertainment items. Also in the case of delaying flights for more than four hours, the flight will end up being canceled and you will be re-accommodated to the next flight available.
