Take the Stress Out of Travel with These Tips to #TSATravelSafe

When you’re jetting off to summer fun, you have a lot on your mind.  Did you bring your cell phone charger?  Do you have room in your bag for souvenirs?  Do you have the rental car confirmation?  What’s the best restaurant near your hotel?  Did you leave the coffee maker on?

With so much to think about, it’s easy to forget the most important thing: Getting there safely.  Fortunately, TSA is working hard to make sure your travel experience is as efficient and secure as possible.  

Check out the gif below, which is full of tips to make your trip to the airport as stress-free as possible—because we know you have other things on your mind.  

#TSATravelSafe, Transportation Security Administration Seal. Arrive up to 2 hours prior to flight departure for domestic travel, 3 hours for international travel. Remove your 3-1-1 bag and place in a screening bin. Remove computers and large electronics from carry-on and place in bin alone. Have ID and boarding pass out for inspection. Remove shoes and place directly on x-ray belt. Remember to check bins and collect all belongings.
