How to Get Through Security Faster

00:00:00.120 | - Let's go through all the things that you should do

00:00:02.440 | to make sure you're through security as fast as possible.

00:00:05.860 | And the first is just to check in

00:00:08.040 | before you get to the airport.

00:00:10.120 | We always check in 24 hours or sometimes 30 hours,

00:00:12.520 | depending on the airline, in advance

00:00:13.960 | to make sure that we have boarding passes in hand.

00:00:15.680 | We understand if our known traveler numbers

00:00:17.320 | or our fast track security or our premier access

00:00:20.600 | or whatever is showing on the boarding pass.

00:00:22.280 | And if it's not, that's the time to troubleshoot it.

00:00:24.080 | It's a day in advance.

00:00:25.540 | You definitely don't want to be at the airport

00:00:28.940 | with very little time to spend

00:00:30.200 | and you've got to wait into a line at the counter

00:00:31.620 | to talk to somebody to actually get a boarding pass.

00:00:33.900 | You're not doing it right.

00:00:34.740 | So check in 24 hours in advance.

00:00:36.480 | For some airlines like Southwest,

00:00:38.120 | that's almost a requirement, right?

00:00:40.140 | If you don't check in and get a better boarding pass,

00:00:42.660 | you will be waiting in line in the back of the B's

00:00:45.120 | or the C's in a bad boarding position,

00:00:47.000 | which is never what you want.
