Airport Tips for Traveling
Traveling can be fun and stressful at the same time. You can be excited about your amazing trip but can't decide what intriguing items to pack and how much to pack for vacation. You are anxious to get to your destination but not so eager to wait in those long airport lines. Well, there are some tips to make your life a little easier when traveling.
Traveling Mobile Apps
One of my favorite things to do is to use my app on my phone. I use my Delta Airline app to remember where I'm parked when I arrive back at the airport. It keeps me informed of all my upcoming trips also.You can also check-in on the app the day before your flight and prepay for your luggage which saves you time at the airport.
The boarding pass is easily accessible on your phone giving you the ability to have a paperless boarding pass. Yes, that makes fewer things for you to keep up with when you're carrying your luggage.

Another great factor I like is, I know my next boarding gate before I get off the plane, giving me the ability to quickly move past people that are standing at the board trying to find their next departure gate. After all, if your flights are not close together, you don't have time to waste. Let's get hustling and catch that flight to Paris, Hawaii, or where ever you are going!
There are other airlines that have apps also in this technology-centered world; therefore, check with your airline to see if they have an app to help save you time while you are preparing to have fun in the sun.

What is the 3-1-1 liquid rule?
You can only take a certain amount of liquid on an airplane. There are rules to what you can take on an airplane; therefore, make sure you follow them.
According to tsa.gov,
Each passenger may carry liquids, gels and aerosols in travel-size containers that are 3.4 ounces or100 milliliters. Each passenger is limited to one quart-size bag of liquids, gels and aerosols. Common travel items that must comply with the 3-1-1 liquids rule include toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, mouthwash and lotion.
Be safe and enjoy your trip; meanwhile, here are a few more tips for the airport!
Some Airport Tips
- Take an empty water bottle.
- Use an airline app for boarding passes.
- Email confirmation- screenshot and set as lock screen.
- Take a picture of your parking space.
- Get to the airport early.
- Tag your suitcase with something noticeable.
- Turn both handles on your suitcases back to back to make it easier to carry more than one suitcase.
- Carry a small deflated ball for a child to play with. Deflate before getting back on the plane.
- Carry an empty water bottle.
- Carry a jacket.
- Follow the 3-1-1 liquid rule for any liquids
- Carry chewing gums for your breath and ears.
- Take precautions with your safety and health while traveling.
Don't forget to book your place to stay, so you can fly high on that airplane. I have used Booking.com
to book a vacation without having to pay upfront. That gives me time to know the particular amount to save before arriving at the room; meanwhile, keeping the fabulous room I desired on hold before someone else books it. Let's face it the best ones, go first! I love to see those words, "Book now and pay later"! 
It's music to my ears.
I personally check the button that says free cancellation, just in case something comes up. Read to see when that cancellation date is, but hopefully, there are no emergencies to cancel your fabulous vacation for. I also read the reviews to see which hotel I would prefer to stay at.
