No matter how onerous the airport process can be, there are always little tips and hacks that can make the process faster and more efficient.

Here are some tips I picked up that I hope can help you breeze through airport security next time you travel.

If you are driving and leaving your car at the airport, take a picture of your car at the parking lot to make it easier to find on your return.

Download your airline’s app and check flight status before you leave home.

Want to breeze through security? Remember the 3-1-1 rule: 1. Liquids should be 3.4 oz or less. 2. They must be stored in a 1 quart/liter zip-top bag. 3. Only one zip-top bag per person.

Pack liquids in a plastic see-through Ziploc bag.

Checking bags is a pain. It can be costly, time-consuming and the airline may lose your bag causing you endless hassles.  You’d be surprised how with a  little creative packing you could fit everything into a carry-on.

Use only a carry-on bag whenever possible.

There are fewer people in those lines. The agents will frequently take you if they run out of passengers to check in.

Check in next to the first and business class line.

You will be able to access documents more easily (and reduce airport security wait times for both you and everyone behind you) if you place them in an easy-to-reach location.

Place your documents in an easily accessible location.

A line with business people is likely to proceed faster than a line with families and baby carriages. Choose accordingly to help you breeze through airport security.

Get on line behind business people.
