Travel Tips For The First Time Flier

Since the horror of 9/11, airport security has become tighter than ever before. Every year they develop more rules about what you can and cannot take on a flight. Many of the items that could cause you to be held up by security are items that you would not think to leave out of your carry on or luggage. Some items can be packed into your luggage but not carried on the plane. Before you fly for the first time, make sure you check over these travel tips for the first time flier.

One of the best travel tips you will ever get is to err on the side of caution. If you are not sure of what can be carried onto the plan or put in your luggage, it is not something that you absolutely need, and/or it is something that you can buy when you get there, leave it at home. Not only will this travel tip keep you from spending eternity with airport security, it will lighten your load!

Another one of the best travel tips is to check with the airline or your travel agent before packing for your trip. Because security measures change so frequently, it is a good idea to get the most recent lists of contraband items for luggage and carry on bags. Make sure that you get the list for both carry on bags and luggage, because they will likely be different. You can also get other types of travel tips lists from airlines and travel agents when you are a first time flyer.

Lists of travel tips often neglect to mention medications. Even when you are flying within the country, it is a good idea to be prepared for emergency replacement of your medications. Make sure that you pack enough medication for your stay, as well as additional medication in case you are delayed in your return.

You should also make a list of all of your prescribed medications and dosages along with the name, address, and phone number of your doctor. Put it in a large zip lock bag with all of your medications, in their original prescription bottles. This will help you in two ways. First, it will help you move through security with your medications without too much trouble. Second, you will be prepared for any emergency replacements of your medications should they be lost or stolen. These travel tips about your medications will not only help you in security, but could save your life.
