I've seen *so* many women watch their expensive face cream, lip gloss, perfume, etc toss in the trash can after pleading with the TSA folks. I feel so bad for them. Also, especially for international travelers, know that different airports/airlines have different rules. I wished I would have known this when I showed up for a flight in London and was allowed only one carry-on. Yuck!   <strong><em>Great advice on both the liquids and the carryons. You have to check with EACH airline on the carryons!!</em></strong>   Know what counts as a liquid for the carry-on rules.

Arrive early to give yourself enough time to get through security. Post 9/11 it takes forever to get through security especially during high season. I'm amazed at the people who show up at the last minute for International flights departing from the U.S. then freak out when they can't make the flight. There is a reason the airline suggests you get there 2 hours before domestic, 3 hours before International. It's better arrive early and relax with a book/magazine/newspaper than running and praying that they will hold the plane.   <strong><em>I am with you! I like to get there early, grab a book and a big cup of coffee-and wait!</em></strong>   .-= nyc/caribbean ragazza´s last blog ..<a href="http://sistergirltales.blogspot.com/2009/06/perfect-weather-for-sipping-mojito.html" rel="nofollow">Perfect weather for sipping a Mojito outside.</a> =-.
