Before you leave home
You’re on your way now
Once you get to the airport, you will be in a queue snaking around as you aim to get through security. For those of you old enough to remember the game Snake in the years before Smart phones, you will know that planning is key to getting ahead. You will (eventually) get to the scanners and you will need to put your liquids in a carrier bag and your shoes and belts in a tray provided. So, get these ready before you get to the front of the queue. You will surprise the airport staff who will have repeated themselves a few thousand times by the time you get there and will save yourself valuable time and sail through the scanner almost without breaking stride.
