  • Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.

  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
