I'm gearing up for an exciting trip this week and since I haven't packed for a long trip in a while, I found myself forgetting important items [ I had all of my outfits selections made and completely forgot to pack PJ's lol ] but thanks to a Little Bit Wonderful I was able to find an easy checklist so I can ensure I will be ready for my adventures.
I also visited the TSA website and wanted to share some of the important tips they provided so you will be prepared for your next trip.
Before Packing
- Liquids, gels and aerosols packed in carry-on must follow the 3-1-1 liquids rule:
- 3.4 ounces or less per container
- 1 quart size, clear, plastic, zip top bag (all liquids must fit in bag)
- 1 bag per passenger
- Review the prohibited items list for both carry-on and checked baggage.
- If purchasing a baggage lock, be sure to look for those that are TSA recognized.
- Tape a card with your name and contact information on your electronics.
At the Checkpoint
- Remove the 3-1-1 liquids bag and place it in the bin.
- Ensure pockets are empty (keys, tissues, currency, wallets, cell phones, etc.) and remove bulky jewelry (valuable items can be placed in carry-on).
- Remove your shoes and place them directly on the X-ray belt.
- Remove computers and large electronics from carry-on and place in the bin alone (video game consoles, remote control toys, etc.)
- Remember to check the bins and collect all belongings after going through screening.
