SECURITY and PRE FLIGHT

PART 2 SECURITY AND PRE FLIGHT


So you've checked in and you're bags are gone! now pray to god that they arrive at their destination!
One thing I forgot to mention in my last Blog is that MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS OF WHERE YOU'RE STAYING on a piece of paper and inside your luggage in case something happens. check out my example of what I do!

CHRIS Charles
Hilton Maui
3497 Maui rd
Hawaii 98745
555-555-6784

Finally, once they've give you your boarding pass make sure you always leave it with your passport! A rule I have is my wallet in one pocket, boarding pass and passport in another pocket and my phone in another pocket! This allow myself to be a little more organized and ready if anyone requests something.



* NEVER LEAVE YOUR PASSPORT AND BOARDING PASS IN ANY BAGGY POCKETS*


I say this because sometimes they can fall out or people can pick pocket you easier!


SECURITY

It drives me nuts when people aren't prepared for security! I feel like smacking them with a pay attention stick or get the hell out of the line!

It's simple

Shoes - if metal needs to be removed or like in the USA they always have to be removed

Jackets - have to be removed

Lap tops - they need to be removed from inside of the bag

Belts - they have metal so they need to be removed

Watches - needs to be removed

Liquids - needs to be in the plastic bag and meet the Transport Canada requirement!

METAL - everything needs to be removed!

I don't understand why people are confused, scared, or just plain rude during this process!
READ THE SIGN

Once you've passed security take a second to make sure you have everything! TICKETS, MONEY, PASSPORT!
At this stage of the process I do a time check to make sure I have enough time to purchase duty free, have something to eat, or just walk around. Remember this is when you can relax and get ready to sit down for hours!!!



PRE FLIGHT PREP

I always tell my friends to make sure you have these items before boarding a flight:

1. A bottle of water - so you stay hydrated and the bottle can be refilled during the flight

2. A snack - in case your wanting to snack and not pay for a snack on the plane

3. A sandwich - in case you're hungry at anytime between meals

4. Gum or mints - to save the flight attendants, security, and border guards from your nasty breath

I suggest you have your credit cards ready because most carriers only accept credit cards! Trust me I know from experience that accepting only credit cards benefits both the flight attendants and the passengers!
