Here are a few other tips to help streamline holiday travel: <br />TWO HOURS <br /> Plan on arriving before your scheduled flight time if you are <br />catching a flight on the two days before Christmas Eve or the three days after <br />Christmas. Christmas Eve and Christmas day are lighter travel days, so <br />arriving 90-minutes ahead should be fine on those days. <br />ONLINE. <br /> Check-in Passengers may check-in online 24 hours prior to their <br />departure and print their boarding passes at home. Often ticket agents will <br />move online check-in passengers to a different line if they still need to check <br />bags which, speeds up the process. <br />BOARDING PASSVALID GOVERNMENT PHOTO ID. <br /> Remember your and <br />You must have these two things to enter the security checkpoint. <br />DO NOT WRAP GIFTS. <br /> Security officers will un-wrap gifts if they need to <br />inspect a package. Please wrap gifts after arriving at your destination. <br />PACK AN ORGANIZED CARRY-ON BAG USING LAYERS. <br /> A layer of <br />clothes, then electronics, more clothes, and then any heavier items. This will <br />help transportation security officers see what’s in your bag. Innocent items can <br />actually appear to be potential threats in an X-ray image, simply by the way <br />they’re packed. The Transportation Security Administration website has the <br />most up-to-date information on security screening requirements and banned <br />items at http://www.tsa.gov/travelers. <br />DRESS THE PART. <br /> Transportation security officers have to identify any metal <br />that is detected at the checkpoint. To make screening go faster place coins, <br />keys, jewelry, belt buckles and other metal items in your carry-on until you pass <br />through security. Shoes, blazers, suit coats, bulky sweaters and outer wear <br />must be removed when going through screening. <br />-More- <br /> <br />
