Fly Through Airport Security PDF Print E-mail
    One of the most stressful parts about traveling with kids, is getting everything packed efficiently while keeping everything easily accessible. With heightened security these days, what is worse than having to unpack your entire carry-on bag to find your I.D. while still holding on to your crying child? Perhaps the answer is having airport security personnel confiscate all of your favorite beauty items that you "must-have" on this trip because the sizes exceeded the regulations.      I can help you avoid these stressful airport situations. Just follow my simple travel tips for organized family travel.

  • First of all, why not carry your ID around your neck, so you don't have to keep pulling it out. This would avoid a great deal of hassle.
  • Make sure that you have all of your liquid items in small zippered bags.
  • Before you leave the house, make sure that you take all unnecessary credit cards (shopping cards, frequent shopper cards, library cards, etc.) out of your wallet so you aren't overwhelmed and in case you lose your wallet.
  • If you do not need to bring a stroller, leave it at home. I actually like for my kids to walk the long distances at the airport so that they are tired when we board the plane.

        Click here to find the items that will simplify your family's air travel.

        Also, be sure to check out my Art of Packing Light video to learn how to pack for your family in one bag in one hour. Yes, it can be done! I will show you what to get to keep your clothes organized and wrinkle-free. Since I have two boys, I actually color-code their travel bags. One boy is blue and one is green. That way, I don't mix up their bathing suits and socks. With two sons close in age, it often becomes a challenge to figure out whose things belong to whom.

        I can assure you that if you take the time to get organized prior to your flight when traveling with kids, you'll be happy you did it. There is really nothing worse than trying to scramble at the airport.
