Streamline Your Pockets: Rather than emptying the contents of your pockets into the gray basket while you’re juggling your carry-on, removing your laptop, and standing there shoeless, you’ll find it much more convenient to streamline the contents of your pockets to only your non-metal essentials: Namely your boarding pass and identification.
The rest of the list is pretty straightforward and includes bringing snacks (make your own for less than $3) and surf some free wi-fi while you wait. I’d recommend bringing these small travel essentials, preparing your home before your go, and gifts if you’re a student visiting family this semester.
