There’s nothing worse than running late for a flight only to end up stuck in a security line bottleneck behind the couple fumbling with the laces on their hiking boots,the first-time flyer emptying change, penny by penny, or the parent too busy talking on the phone to notice their toddler’s jacket zipper is now inexplicably stuck totheir stuffed animal. As veteran travelers, we know that making it through theTransportation Security Administration, (TSA) line is nothing less than a refinedscience, brought about through trial, error and the occasional streak of good luck. Consider the following tips and make it through airport security faster and easierthe next time you fly.

1. Dress up to Dress down - Wear Socks & Slip-On Shoes
You are required to take off your shoes in order to pass through the metal detectors,so put those sandals away and wear shoes with socks. It’s not only more hygienic, but it’s also safer for you and dare we say, just a better all-around visual for the people next to you in line! Socks are also great to have when you actually board the plane and find yourself faced with frigid in-flight temperatures.
Next, when every second counts, don’t waste time fiddling with a pair of laces,complicated straps and buckles or yanking off your steel-toe boots. A simple pair of ballet flats for women or slip-on loafers for men will do the trick quite nicely. At JetRags, we are big fans of Native Shoes, and find these comfy EVA slips-ons to bethe perfect travel shoe for men, women and kids alike. If you tend to over-pack and need space in your bag, wear boots you can slip on and off easily - wearing these canbe a great way to open up more space in your luggage.

2. Unpack like a pro
You know the drill, all liquids and gels must be 3 oz or smaller and fit into a 1 quart bag. Save yourself the expense of purchasing travel-sized products and the inevitable busted sandwich bag lotion explosion later, and pick up a clear bag with clear bottles that you can fill with product from your full-size bottles at home (our travel bottle sets are great and the bag is a quart size). Label your bottles to keep products easy to recognize and put the bag in a front pocket of your carry-on or in your day bag. When it’s time to go through security, simply unzip the outer pocket and place your liquids next to the bag in your bin and move on through! Of course, if you like trying out different beauty brands when you travel, 3Floz.com is a great resource for stocking up on TSA-approved toiletries.
