AT THE AIRPORT
Passing through airport security can be one of the most stressful parts of travelling. Being familiar with the guidelines as they apply in the country you’re visiting means you will pass through security smoothly and swiftly.
What can you take on board?
Check your airline’s website before you travel. Restrictions concerning liquids and gels in carry-on bags are largely standard around the world. Most countries have adopted the security policies currently in place in the US and the EU, which require that liquids, gels and aerosols be kept in containers no larger than 100 millilitres. For immediate identification, these containers must then be stored inside a transparent 1 litre zip-up bag. Know what goes in the bin and have these items ready.
Please note, however, that because of improvements in screening technology,
more relaxed carry-on rules are due to be introduced in the EU in January 2014.
Medications
If you have medications such as insulin that do not fit the standard carry-on rules, take them out of your own bag and place them in a transparent bag. Prescribed medications should be kept in their original packaging with a note from your doctor bearing his signature and a formal letterhead.
What to wear?
Because you will sometimes be required to remove your footwear, wear shoes that are easy to take off and put on.
Your valuables
Keep your valuables in your hand luggage and put it on the counter where you can clearly see it.
Prepare your documents and money in private, so that you do not need to empty
the full contents of your bag in front of others. Keep your documents and money separate.
Displayed information
Do not leave frequent flyer nametags on your bags; keep all displayed information to the bare minimum, if possible just a P.O. box or a mobile number.
Keeping aware
Always be aware when checking in at your home or foreign airport of who is around you. Be vigilant, especially on arrival.
Being met
Request the full details of the company, the driver (including a photo) and the car picking you up.
