“Airport travel, especially during the summer, can be a sweaty nightmare or a pleasant experience,” explains expert traveler Margie Floris, president and co-founder of the travel wellness company Savvy Travelers.

“It all comes down to how much preparation you do to save time at the airport. The good news is that there is plenty you can do to cut back on airport time and keep yourself fresh when traveling.”

Choose wisely

 

To save time, try to fly on non-peak days. Those who can fly on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, for example, will find that the airport is not as busy. This alone should help speed up your travel experience because you will not be caught in as many long lines. Of course, Thanksgiving is the exception to this rule.

Prep ahead

 

Do what you can for your flight before you even arrive at the airport. This includes downloading the airline’s app, so you can use mobile check-in and show your digital boarding pass. This will send you right to security, bypassing the initial check-in line.

Weigh ahead

 

Weigh your bag at home and plan accordingly to avoid unpleasant surprises at the airport. You may need to remove items to meet the weight limit; it’s better to do this at home than at the airport.
