Often, the passage of special control at the airport is troublesome and takes considerable time for tourists. British travel expert Nora Dunn told about how to pass it quickly and without hassle.
According to the girl, the main “key to speeding up” the passage of special control is to find the right neighbors in the queue. For example, business passengers. She advises getting up in the queue where there are more of them.
“The magic is to find the right people in the queue. Business travelers are most likely to have honed the skills of passing through the security framework at the airport down to the degree of art. While you’re standing in line behind them, watch what they’re doing and learn from them. If they are really good at it, it will be like dancing,” the expert said.
Secondly, the girl advises to avoid queues in which there are families with young children.
“If you don’t see queues with business travelers, then at least avoid queues with families at all costs. Especially with families with young children. They are understandably slow to sort their stuff to get through the X-ray machines,” Nora shares.
Thirdly, the expert recommends not to rush to a place where there are a lot of security personnel. She notes that most tourists choose a queue with a large number of staff at the X-ray machine. However, this does not mean that you will be searched faster.
“If the device has more than one or two people, most likely one of them is an intern and this queue will creep slowly,” she assures.
In addition, the expert reminded tourists of an obvious rule that many forget about: check everything that can detain the tourist himself.
“It’s important to remember where your fluids are. They should be easily accessible, in a separate bag with a zipper. Make sure that your laptop and other electronics are easy to take out if necessary, and shoes and belt are easy to take off,” the girl shares.
In the comments under her advice, travelers shared their life hacks. For example, with a large set of inspection booths, many will rather choose to go right. This is due to the fact that most people are right-handed. Therefore, to avoid long queues, it is recommended to turn left. Also, while waiting for your turn, you should not make noise, whistle or even yawn: this attracts the attention of airport staff and such a tourist is more likely to be stopped for an additional check.
