How to get through airport security fast when traveling to San Francisco
Your adventure to San Francisco starts as soon as you’ve satisfied the security checks. Here are some useful tips to help you get through quickly:

  • Airport security staff will expect to see your boarding pass and travel ID upon arrival. Store them in an accessible place, so they’re ready for inspection.
  • Wallets, belts and wrist watches are to be put in a tub for X-raying. If you enter the body scanner with any one of these items, you’ll be turned around and requested to remove them.
  • Ensure your phone, laptop and other electronic devices are within easy reach. These items need to be sent through the X-ray machine in separate bins.
  • When you get to the security checkpoint, you’ll be asked to place all creams, liquids and gels in a separate tub for scanning. Make sure they’re all in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and sealed in a clear zip-lock bag.
  • Airport security personnel may ask you to remove your shoes prior to entering the body scanner. Pick a pair that come off easily. There’s nothing more tiresome than having to do your laces up over and over again.
  • Some countries have strict quarantine laws. Think about where you’re going to and whether or not you’re allowed to fly with fruit and meats.
