Funny you mention the Kansas City airport. That was our home airport when I was growing up. Pre-9/11, all of the gates were wide open. As soon as you walked into the terminal from the outside, you could walk directly to the gate and it was only a few steps away. Post-9/11, they built the walls around the gates and there was just no smooth way to do it. You’re right, it’s odd, but it’s a 9/11 thing and it didn’t use to be so weird. Thanks for your videos!

A REAL ID/Drivers License will be required to fly within the USA starting October 1, 2020. This is NOT the same as an Enhanced ID/DL; states with just the Enhanced ID/DL are not in compliance with the Federal REAL ID act. However, a Passport or Passport ID card can also be used instead of a REAL ID/DL for flying within the USA. Check with you local driver's license bureau sooner rather than later if you plan air travel in the future.

I’ve watched lots of travel videos and Laurie really stresses getting through TSA security with the minimal fuss for the agents. I’m getting it- this isn’t your neighborhood Home Depot line. The agents get frustrated with distractions, chit chat or feigned ignorance. It’s not cute.

If you have a question regarding security, it is more than fine to ask an officer that isn't in the middle of doing something they need to concentrate hard on. Don't small talk, but it is fine to ask questions, or compliment them on being so cheerful despite it being so early in the morning (they do appreciate it, I assure you). My best friend is a TSA officer, and the last time I flew, she was working and had a couple minutes free after I went through security, so we were able to just talk - day instantly made.

You know here is a story. Flying from DFW to SFO on American I took a carryon, no issues it was within the correct size for a carryon. Coming back, I was MADE....to check my carryon at SFO and paid full price for it, like it was a regular sized suitcase. I even explained to the American worker "hey this is a carryon, flying to here I did not have to check it" SO...now I am freaked out. I sort of don't trust airlines with taking a carryon now. I wonder how often this happens?

I had a small roller bag that I knew for a fact would fit in the overhead of the small plane I was taking. She said, we ask everyone to gate check because we won’t have enough room. Then she saw I had priority, was boarding first, and changed her tune. All of a sudden, my bag was just fine to be taken on board.

If you have an IPhone, you can add your boarding bar code to your wallet. After You have checked in online, there is an option to have the code texted to you .Do that, and you’ll notice a small icon below the barcode that reads “add to wallet “ click on that and it will automatically be in your phones wallet. I’ve also saved concert and other event tickets that way, and been scanned in at the gate using either my IPhone or Apple Watch. Pretty cool! And fast!

Yes, I still don't do that. Great idea! Thanks for watching!

If you are at home...print that ticket bar code. It is a way to present the ticket if something goes wrong with the phone (forgot to charge maybe). Many airports like Charlotte, Baltimore and orlando have a app with gps maps. Will help prevent you from getting lost...or help in finding the fudge store you love (Thank you Terminal B in Charlotte) Also Government Employees, Military and their families get to use the staff and tsa precheck lines FOR FREE. So wave those ids around instead of your driver's license I had a friend who was a tsa agent tell me this. Don't pack light colored powdered make up....ESPECIALLY NOT WHITE. Sometimes they have ingredients that cause your bag to be pulled aside. Liquid or gel make up is a safer bet for speed. Also width is generally 8 to 10 inches for carry on Also being in a hurry makes you much more likely to be pulled aside for a random security check. Love the video by the way.

I had bought cheese on a recent trip and got pulled aside due to the “blocks of suspicious items” to have my carryon searched. Additionally, I have had a knee replacement and it often sets off the metal detector. I am then either patted down completely or am sent through the x-ray instead. Is there some way to advise of the knee and be x-rayed and bypass pat Downs?

@TravelTipsbyLaurie
