We've all been there in the airport security queue, caught behind the slow-moving person. The frantic, overstuffed, disorganized traveller who appears poorly unprepared for the work at hand. Or maybe you've been that person - bewildered, perplexed, and feeling the fury of the furious passengers in front of you.

Unless you fly private, one of the inescapable aspects of travelling is going through
security. At best, it's mundane; at worst, it's chaotic and unpleasant, but it doesn't
have to be that way. Below is a list of mistakes to avoid in order to have the most
pleasant airport security experience possible.
3. Mistakes to avoid during airport security
Arriving Unprepared
If you don't have the necessary documents to board your flight, you won't get very
far. Without your boarding pass and/or correct form of identification, you won't be
able to get through security. Make sure you have these items on hand (you'll also
need your passport if you're travelling internationally), and keep them accessible
rather than stuffed in the bottom of your suitcase.
The most important thing is to bring the necessary travel documents, which you
should investigate ahead of time. If you're flying internationally, make sure to verify
your passport's expiration date as well as the validity criteria of your destination;
certain nations need you to travel with a passport that is valid for at least six
months.
4. Not Packing Properly and Strategically
When passing through security, one of the worst mistakes you can make is
stowing the stuff you'll need in a location that isn't easily accessible. Keep
your boarding pass, ID, passport, and phone in your pocket or a bag's
exterior compartment so you may immediately access them when needed.
Also, keep all of your drinks in one easy-to-remove bag. Place all of your
travel documents in a tiny pouch and carry it with you at all times.
Remember that you'll need to remove some goods to get through security,
so bring luggage that will allow you to effortlessly pack and unpack your
computer, phone, tablet, and other electronic devices. Check the volume of
your toiletries to ensure compliance with rules, then pre-pack them all
together in a Ziploc bag. In addition, make sure that you check Delhi airport
departures regulations surrounding what's permitted in your carry-on versus
check-in baggage.
5. Packing Prohibited Items
This may seem self-evident, yet an astounding amount of tourists, often
inadvertently, bring forbidden items in their luggage. This not only slows
down the screening process for everyone, but it also puts you in significant
legal danger. If a carry-on bag sets off an alert, it will need to be opened by a
TSA officer to be resolved. Remember that during a pandemic, it's critical to
minimise touchpoints, so don't bring any prohibited products. To avoid any
unnecessary bother, only bring products that you know are allowed in your
carry-on luggage and pack your suitcase carefully.
Avoiding these mistakes can help you with easy and hassle-free Delhi airport
departures and arrivals.
