Entrepreneurs from across the country and around the world will make their way to Greensboro for the 20th Annual Market America International Convention next week – and we realize that many of you will be flying in for the event. To help you prepare for a safe and efficient flight, take a look at these helpful Travel Tips from the TSA. They also created this great PDF as well.
Being aware of these rules and regulations can help save you time while going through the screening process at the airport. We appreciate everyone who will be traveling from far and wide to attend #MAIC2012, and hope these tips will make your trip a little easier:
- If possible, print out your boarding pass ahead of time! This is a huge timesaver if you only have a carry-on.
- Due to increased security, arrive at the airport 2 hours early for domestic flights and be aware of any additional time needed for flying international.
- Bring identification! For international flights, remember your passport. Flying domestically? Here’s a complete list of all acceptable forms of identification.
- Random items like gel shoe inserts and gel-type candles are not permitted and must go in checked luggage.
- The 3-1-1 rule for carry-on luggage à 3.4 ounce (100ml) bottle or less (by volume); 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag; 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin.
If you have any helpful travel tips of your own, feel free to share them with us by leaving a comment on this blog post! We hope you all have safe travels, and look forward to seeing you at the 2012 Market America International Convention!
