From packing to passing through security and eventually finding your gate, the airport can be a stressful place, especially if flying is daunting for you. Here is your guide to making your airport experience as stress-free and pleasant as possible.
Secure Your Logistics Ahead of Time
Before you even get to the airport, arranging transport can be stressful. Make sure to arrange ahead of time for a family member or friend to take you and, if you intend to use a taxi, then pre-book once a few hours before you need it so you don’t have to deal with any last-minute stress. Also, double-check bus and train times if you intend to take public transport.
Get TSA PreCheck or Global Entry (if traveling through US)
In order to go through security quicker, get TSA PreCheck or Global Entry. This way, you won’t have to unpack your bags or remove your shoes at security checkpoints. Also, your line will be faster to get through, affording you more time to do other tasks.
Keep Your Documents in a Secure but Accessible Place
As you pass through the regular airport procedure, you’ll need to produce documents such as your passport and your air ticket. As a result, you should make sure to keep all of your documents in an easily accessible place in your bag so that you don’t waste time fumbling around for them. Still, make sure they are secure so you don’t lose them.
