7 Tips for Air
Travel Without Headaches
By
Ugur Akinci
1) Wear a pair of sandals, loafers or strapless
shoes. Your shoes should be problem-free enough to
take them out quickly at airport security check
points and then to put them back on equally quickly
once you pass the metal detector and body search.
Avoid boots with long straps and multiple buckles.
2) Pack the following items in your check-in
baggage: nail and nose clippers, shampoo (wrapped up
tight in plastic bag), hair curlers, metal pots and
utensils. Also, if you're traveling frequently by
air, think twice before getting any body piercings
and metal rings. They can set off security alarms
and hamper your progress through crowded security
gates.
3) Stick to a basic and simple diet. Avoid fresh
fruits and greens abroad since they are the least
disinfected of all food items and can trigger a
diarrhea or dysentery attack. Bread, cheese and
bottled commercial water is usually a good safe bet.
Never drink water from open public fountains that's
available in many foreign countries. Stay away from
gourmet dishes and rich cakes at all costs. Carry
anti-diarrhea and anti-constipation pills with you,
just in case.
4) Carry a zippered belt- or fanny-pack to carry
your tickets, ID, passport, pills and medication,
toothbrush and toothpaste, credit cards and wallet,
cell phone, etc. Make sure the zippered mouth of the
pack is in front of you, on your belly, for easy
access and added security.
5) Do not carry any liquids or creams in tubes,
cans or bottles larger than 3 ounces. The airport
security personnel will immediately confiscate them.
6) Carry a small voltage splitter or power strip
to share the limited power outlets at the airport
lounges with other laptop users.
7) Carry an inflatable neck-pillow in your
carry-on bag to support your neck for a comfortable
nap while you fly.
