How to get through airport security fast when traveling to Carlsbad
If you like the thought of spending more time at the airport restaurants and less time at the security checkpoint on your way to Carlsbad, just follow these handy tips:

  • Be sure you know the whereabouts of your boarding pass and travel ID. You don't want to hold up the line when you're asked to produce them.
  • Bear in mind that metal belt buckles can set off the body scanner's alarms. If you have one on, you may be instructed to step back and take it off before proceeding.
  • Electronics such as laptops, tablets and phones will need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Be sure they're easily accessible.
  • When you get to the security checkpoint, you'll be asked to put all liquids, gels and creams in a separate bin for scanning. Make sure they're all in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and sealed in a clear zip-lock bag.
  • Think about your choice of footwear. Slippers are great because they're super easy to take off when you're at the security checkpoint. Try wearing a pair on your next journey!
  • Some destinations have strict biosecurity laws. Think about where you're going to and whether or not it's permissible to fly with fresh fruit and meat.
