For most of us who have flown since 9/11/01, there have been many changes in air travel. Taking our shoes off, longer lines, and the dreaded 3-1-1 “liquids/gels/aerosols in bags” stipulation makes it that much more difficult to fly.
The TSA (Transportation Security Administration) has a SimpliFLY program to help you get through the airport more quickly and easily on your next trip.
I recently did the “carry on” bit, carrying only what I needed for a short overnight trip, and I found I was able to put toiletries, makeup, and other 3-1-1 stuff all in one bag. I was convinced I wouldn’t be able to fit everything in one suitcase, but I was wrong. I flew on regional jets and found that I could “gate check” the bag and get it when I exited the airplane. I’d recommend this if you’ve a short trip. It’s astounding what you can get into a carry-on.
