In order to have a nice vacation, without any transportation problems, you need to plan everything ahead and to have the sense of humor.
Before departure
It is advisable to plan your flight as early as possible. If you are booking your air ticket in advance, then you are most likely to find a better price and a better offer. Check the sites of the airlines in order to see which are the best deals.
Don't take too many baggage with you and take into consideration the airport limits when you pack your things.
Last minute actions
Don't leave the house before checking if there are any delays. Have a light luggage and put your medications in the hand bag.
You have to arrive 2 hours ahead for a domestic flight and 3 hours in case of an international flight. It's better to avoid driving yourself to the airport and parking your car there for few days. You would rather take a taxi or ask a friend to drive you there.
Airport rules
You can carry liquids only in a 3-oz container that is placed in a transparent plastic bag. In case you have gifts, it's better not to wrap them as you may be required to open them. When you dress yourself, remember that any metal will set off the alarm.
Get ready
In case of delays you should have a book or a MP3 player with you. You can also take a pillow and snacks.
