Yes or no? What to bring while traveling on a flight
June 11, 2009
Tens of thousands of people travel on airlines every day. So with this many people traveling via the same flights, how do you maximize efficiency while traveling in the air? The answer is being prepared. If you know what to bring and what not to bring, traveling can be made a pleasant experience as opposed to a nightmare.
Here are some tips on what to bring and what not to bring to make your travel more pleasant and efficient.
What can I wear?
Many people wonder if they can were jewelry, belts or other metal objects when traveling. The answer is yes if you want to take it off at the gate. Rules require ALL metal objects be removed and placed on the conveyer belt in order to get through the gate. This includes keys, key chains, jewelry, belts, coats with metal buttons, coins and even your shoes, and your laptop.
What do I need to show them at the gate?
Depending on where you are traveling internationally, there are a few things you must have to travel. First, remember to have your boarding pass and know your seat location so when your section is called to board the flight, you know where you are going to make travel for everyone smoother. Next, if you are traveling in the country, you must still have your identification on your person. If you don’t drive, have your personal id card, if you have a license, bring that. Lastly, if you are traveling internationally, remember to have a valid passport. Also, make sure if you are traveling internationally, check to make sure if there are any immunizations recommended for entry into the country of destination, you have gotten them well in advance of your departure.
Can I bring fruits and vegetables on flights?
If you are traveling within the 48 states, yes is the answer, but if you travel anywhere else including Alaska, Hawaii, and internationally, the answer is maybe not. I once purchased a pineapple in Hawaii and had to have a special box that it was inspected by the department of agriculture in order to bring it back with me, and it could not be opened in the interim. Certain fruits and vegetables are allowed with the proper inspections, but others may be confiscated once you step off the plane. Internationally, rules are strict, it is easier just not to do it, which will save you time and hassle.
In general, travel can be difficult if you are not prepared. Since 9-11 rules have gotten stricter, and many people are unhappy. We need to remember that it is for our safety that these rules are put in place even if they may not make sense to us. Get online and check the prohibited items for travel before you go. The Transportation Security Administration has a list of things you may not bring on a flight, for those of you interested, here it is.
- Sharp Objects
- Sporting Goods
- Guns & Firearms
- Tools
- Martial Arts & Self Defense Items
- Explosive & Flammable Materials, Disabling Chemicals & Other Dangerous Items
- Other Items
Most of these are broad categories and have been broken down on their website. Also, many of these things can be brought, just not as a carry on, they may be checked. An example is knives or razors, they can’t be carried on, but you may check them. Also, there may be special regulations on bringing some of these items; rules that you need to follow in order to bring them along. The moral of the story is, when in doubt check with the TSA and with your airline, and your travel experience should be a wonderful one!
