Travel Checklist: What to Bring for Your Flight

[wadesgirl]

What do I need to print out for our flights? Or does the sheet in the packet I got count? I don't fly very often so I have no clue what to bring with me to the airport.

You can check in online within 24 hours before your flight departs. You will be able to print your boarding pass then. No need to stand in any other lines for printing a boarding pass or checking in.When you get to the airport, you can just take your boarding pass and ID, check your bags at the baggage check area for that airline and then go thru security with your carry on items.Oh, from personal experience, if you are wearing a sweatshirt with a front zipper, make sure you wear something under it -- they WILL make you take it off and put it in the bin -- sort of embarassing to hold up the line while you are trying to explain that you only have a bra on under it! :blushingon't forget your passport if you are flying to Toronto! Have fun!

Passport, cash/credit-debit card, snacks, easy to wear shoes/jackets, etc....boarding pass printed is the way to go!

Yah I remember all that other stuff from the two times I flew before! Okay so I'll check into the boarding passes before I leave. Will it give me our return ones at the same time?

Most likely not. Online checking/boarding pass printing doesn't happen until 24 hours (or less) before the flight. You might be able to use the printer at the hotel when you get ready to come home.

A tip from someone who flies for work A LOT - if you are busty, don't go with super underwire - IT WILL pick up and you WILL get patted down. Most action I've seen in a while, ha!! Now I do a sports bra and a tight cami so at least I'm held down and don't put an eye out if I have to run to make a connector

No problem there - never been considered busty in my life

I do remember the last time I flew 1 1/2 years ago we were all taking our jackets off for security and my little niece who was 4 at the time got all upset because she was only wearing pj's and thought they were going to make her take her top off!! Poor thing!

Awww. Poor girl!! I always feel bad for kids in the security lines. It's gotta be scary.
