You\u2019ll thank yourself later when going through airport security is a breeze.<\/p>\n
\n<\/b>Thinking of bringing a wrapped present for Aunt Bebe onboard? While it\u2019s acceptable to carry gifts on the plane with you, be advised that airport security might ask to unwrap the gift to properly inspect its contents. Thus, if you can swing it, leave the gift unwrapped and take care of the paper and bows at your destination.<\/p>\n
\n<\/b>Even the infrequent traveler knows that most large containers of liquids in a carry-on are a no-no reserved for the checked bags. However, remember this handy term that\u2019s often blasted through airport intercoms: 3-1-1. Simply put, 3-ounce containers of liquids are allowed in your carry-on if they can all fit in a single 1-quart clear baggie. That means small perfume bottles and travel-size shampoos are the perfect flying companion.<\/p>\n
\n<\/b>Whether it\u2019s baby formula, gel teething rings or jarred baby food, all of these items are allowed on board when traveling with Junior. Just let security know that you have these items on you, as you might need further screening before flying.<\/p>\n
\n<\/b>Everyone loves the feel of cushy gel inserts when you have to walk the long airport terminals (no one likes unhappy feet). Gel shoe inserts were banned for some time, but the TSA changed its policy and now allows inserts to be worn in airports and airplanes.<\/p>\n
\n<\/b>This is simple enough: Sharp objects are never allowed on an airplane. Yes, most people have the common sense to know that they shouldn\u2019t bring a box cutter or ice pick onto their flights. But some people do forget to pack away things such as personal pocketknives and even scissors. If you really need to travel with these items, you can place them safely in your checked bag.<\/p>\n
\n<\/b>Excited about your next golfing vacation? We\u2019re sure you are! Still, you have to leave the 7-iron and the rest of your clubs nestled safely in your checked luggage.<\/p>\n
\n<\/b>While bringing alcohol on a flight is not permitted, travelers are allowed to pack up to five liters of alcohol in a sealable container within their checked baggage. The only stipulation is that the alcohol content cannot exceed 70 percent.<\/p>\n
