Ensure your carry on

Make sure that your carry-on luggage is good to go. Check the airlines’ official website before packing your luggage. If you have the entire right luggage in your carry-on, you will spend less at the security checks obviously.

Good passengers are also judged by their shoes

If you really want to spend less time at the security checkpoints, then you have to play it really smart. Wear slip-ons instead of shoes with laces. Otherwise, you will be wasting your time untying your shoe laces then tying them back. You will hold all the passengers in the queue due to this.

Keep your liquids on the top

You are advised to keep your liquids on the top of your bag to avoid any delays. Security personnel will definitely ask you to take out your liquids and you wouldn’t want to delay the entire process by searching for them in your bags.
