10 errors we make at airports

The airport is one of those places where we all lose a lot of time. Even if you fly often and have your secrets, you still most likely make one or more of the common mistakes passengers make at the airport.

Edition USA Today gathered xnumx the most common ones.

1. Do not download the app of your airline or your airport

These applications will help you not only at the airport, but also before. They will warn you about the cancellation or delay of your flight before you leave the house. Often the information in them is more relevant than the information on the scoreboard in the terminal. One of the most useful applications in this regard is GateGuru, which combines information from more than 200 airports.

2. Do not check in online

In modern airports with kiosks for online check-in, there is no reason to go to the check-in counter, stand in a long queue just to check in for a flight. The only exception is that you have a problem that you cannot solve anywhere except at the reception. In all other cases, the ticket sent to the phone via SMS or e-mail, with the right to immediately move to the line of control, will significantly reduce the time spent at the airport. In addition, some airlines allow you to choose a seat on the plane during online check-in.

3. Do not use TSA PreCheck

If you fly more than a couple of times a year, you should register with TSA PreCheck. The queues to the security check racks for their customers are extremely rarely as long as the usual racks. In addition, they are moving much faster due to the fact that you do not need to take off your shoes, turn on the computer and pour liquids. To register, you must fill out an application, pay a $ 85 fee, and then make an appointment at one of the company's 380 offices throughout the country.

4. Do not take food

It's no secret that food at the airport is very expensive, and the price does not always correspond to the quality. Therefore, it would be a good idea to take a sandwich or fruit with you in your hand luggage, especially since most food is allowed on the plane, except for liquids - such as salad dressing, soups, etc.

5. Wear the wrong clothes

When going to the airport, you should wear not just comfortable clothing, but strategically appropriate clothing—one that will speed up your passage through the security check line. There may be days when the TSA PreCheck line is closed or you end up in the regular line for some other reason. And then you will have to take off your shoes, belt, etc. Therefore, avoid metal jewelry, as well as shoes that are difficult and time-consuming to remove - this will speed up the security check.

6. Do not use the opportunity to check the baggage at the gate

In the US, there is always the opportunity to check your luggage at the entrance to the airport, and all this is completely free, and most importantly, it will save your time. Usually, an airport officer announces the possibility of such a check, but you can also ask yourself, and you will not be denied.

7. Politeness is paramount

It really doesn't matter until you need someone's help. Therefore, no matter what happens, try to remain calm and address everyone with a smile, it certainly won’t hurt. Often you may be allowed to board with carry-on baggageоmore weight just because you politely asked for it.

8. Do not buy tickets to the airport lounge

If you have a long transfer from one flight to another, then purchasing a ticket to the airport's rest zone is worth it, despite some high cost. Prices per day range from $ 25 to $ 60, but Wi-Fi is already included, as well as drinks and food, so the price does not seem so high.

9. Send personal information using Wi-Fi at the airport

All airports have free Wi-Fi - it's a must. But don't forget that free doesn't mean secure. Open networks are always insecure, so try not to use airport Wi-Fi to enter passwords or send your personal information.

10. Do not mark your luggage

Have you ever noticed that all the bags on the baggage tape look similar. Therefore, you save yourself the nerves and time if you attach a sticker or a bright color ribbon with contact information to your suitcase with contact information that will help in case of loss of luggage.
