Arrive early: Give yourself enough time to check-in, get your bags checked and go through security screening.
Enroll in TSA PreCheck: Avoid removing shoes, belts, liquids, food, laptops and light jackets at the TSA checkpoint.
Enroll in CLEAR: Expedite security lines and speed up the travel document check process with a CLEAR membership.
