With the holiday season creeping up on us faster than a 10-year old pair of drawers, I suspect some of y’all might be travelling to some faraway land by hopping aboard an airplane. Most of y’all have flown before and know what to expect when going through airport security and how to behave on the plane, but there might be a few of y’all who haven’t flown in a while or perhaps this will be your first flight ever. Allow me to give a few tidbits of advice on air travel etiquette to make your journey less stressful.
Before you even go to the airport, know what you can and cannot have in your carry-on luggage. There is an official list on the TSA website, but who wants to take time from scrolling through Facebook to check out this list, so here are a few items that are banned. Although it is Thanksgiving, you can’t carry cranberry sauce or gravy in your bag. There’s no mention of totin’ a 15-lb turkey on board, but it must fit under your seat or overhead compartment.
When passing through security, it’d be best to wear slip-on shoes so you don’t cause a traffic jam by unlacing your Nike high-tops. I used to wear cowboy boots when I fly, but most TSA agents refuse to help pull them off my swollen feet. Maybe if I had scraped the cow manure off first, those guys might’ve obliged.
