Enjoy smoother holiday travel by allowing ample time for check in and security at airports due to the increased amount of travelers and possible weather delays.  You will be able to go through airport security quicker if you plan ahead what to wear and how to organize your carry-on baggage.  Wear easy to remove coats and shoes or boots (slip-on is best), and fill your coat pockets with items like your cell phone, coins, keys or other metal objects – items that will have to go through the screener.  Holiday gifts need to be left unwrapped, regardless if they are in your carry-on or checked bag.  Try to travel during off-peak times, if possible.
