Tip #1: Don't wear a turban. Tip #2: Look as white as you can. Works everytime.

I sure wish Sonia was making more videos. Her ideas were so helpful.

I just saw the title and started laughing bitterly. I'm Muslim. Airport security is never quick.

They like to go through my hair for whatever reason. I mean it's really long, to my lower back, but when it's just lying flat I don't know how I would be able to hide anything in it.

Love your tips. I think I have watched every one of your video's.. Here's a tip from me. You know how people are stealing your credit card numbers. Or getting your information from your phone, just by passing you. Well how you stop that is: Go to any computer store and ask: Do they have any extra shipping bags. (The ones for hard drives.) They are static free bags. Before you leave for the airport. Put your wallet and cell phone in this bag. As your going threw the airport. They will not be able to retrieve your info. When you get to the TSA area. That's were they X-ray your bag. Take your wallet and phone out. When they are done. Put it back into the bag. Even the x-ray machine won't be able to see threw it. Everyone have a great trip!

Here’s some info. If you have a laptop, kindle, iPad, or other item(s) larger than a cell phone, that needs to go through the X-ray, you must make sure to put items either in separate bins, or side-by-side in one bin, if they’ll fit. Make sure to never overlap items in bins, because the X-ray operator needs to see through everything. Curling irons, hair straighteners, and charging cords do not need to be taken out of the bag. If you’re wearing sandals and you don’t want to wear socks, you can wear a pair of nylon flesh colored sock-lets and just dispose of them after going through TSA. And bring an empty water bottle! Airport water fountains are filtered! This info is all directly from a TSA agent, except the water tip.

Great advice as always, thank you. I will point out that I travel with Doc Martins as my primary shoes. To save room in my suitcase I always wear them while traveling. To make the line go quickly, while in line I unlace them, tuck the laces inside so I don't trip, once I get to the front I slip them off, put them in a bin along with lots of other stuff, get scanned, gather my stuff, and then find a place to sit put everything away and put by Docs back on. It's not as quick as slip-ons, but I am able to make it mostly seamless and cause no one behind me additional time waiting.

TSA pre check is $85 for those that wanna know....

I have my appointment with the TSA tomorrow morning. Yeah!!! So far, I am pre approved. I only have to to pay $85 dollars, and then I will be fully approved. Thanks!!!

A very charismatic and passionate KZfaq lady. Approved.

Wow! This video should be printed, as a poster! A sure keeper. Thanks Sonia. :)

You have the website wrong Sonia. It should be www.tsa.gov/tsa-precheck

I use my time in the line to take everything that needs to go through separately out of my bags, and i also have a foolproof outfit that usually includes yoga pants or leggings, shoes that are not boots or have laces (at least not high tops) and no cardigans or jackets because they make you take jackets off as well! because i travel a lot for work, i have the passport/security control mastered! And i know this mind seem offensive to some, but since i live in an eu country, i avoid getting in the all passports line, just because i know the officers give non eu residence a hard time when traveling within the eu ( sad but i ve seen it happen a lot :( )

I have my makeup bag (nonliquids) and my liquids bag, plus my medicine bag (I do declare it because I have quite a few I need to take daily.) I have had two different TSA agents this year already (both women!) SCOLD ME in line for my apparent vanity and how I need to "scale it back". I am within my required limits on sizes, but somehow they've felt the need to call that out! My husband was pretty shocked last time.

greats tips. LOL one time I had a whole grocery bag of small bottles of hotel dish soap and they let me through. the women said was right the limit. now i think she was just being nice. nice video. We don't fly much we travel cross country with our RV and we love it!

Always a joy to watch your bubbly and perky personality, together with your helpful videos, maam. Hope you come back to make more videos in the future. More power to all your biz n endeavours. 🙂🙂🙂

We live in Australia and we had a 3 week trip to America and we had 9 flights the entire trip, and on the way back from Washington DC (we caught a train from New York to get to Washington DC) and my brother had TSA-Pre, and we didn't even enrol. He just... got it. But the rest of us didn't have it. He asked if he could be in the same line as us, and he got permission to come in our line, but he did the same stuff as someone in the TSA Pre line.

Hello! I loved your video very much. It's very helpful. I also have some tips for you which I hope you'll never need. If you had surgery and if you have a pacemaker or a coclear implant ( it's a earing aid by the way) or some metal or anything that you weren't born with but you have inside of you, make sure that you have the documentation that prove it and that it is as handy as the rest of your documents such as ID. My father as a coclear implant and he spends extra 2-5 minutes in security that everyone else. It's not much more time but that only happens because he's prepared. He knows exactly what to do because he does his research so that he can get thru security as fast as possible. So here's my advice. Sorry my poor English

Can you please do a video about transfer flights on international trips? Like how much time we should allow between the time you get to the first stop and the next flight. I hope this makes sense. If not, just let me know. Thank you!

Thank you for this video! It made me a little less anxious about the security line💖💖💖

Love the intro!!! Finally a channel i can relate to!! (i travel w/ my family all the time, like we never stay in a place for more that 6 months (not trying to brag) )

You made a quick mention of medicines. Could you explain more about traveling with multiple prescriptions please. I'm traveling to the U.K. this fall and need to know what I can and can not bring Thank you

THANK GOD I get through WITH OUT the quart sized bag. I don't put items in the quart sized bag even when they ask us to in line because I always take more liquids than allowed. I just use the 1 GALLON ziploc bag (abt size of a 8.5 X 11 paper). I put ALL my liquids in there. You know us women can't fit nothing in a tiny quart sized bag. 9/10 big airports don't check anyway. Only smaller airports!!! But I've gotten through smaller airports with this trick.Just make sure nothing goes over 3.4/ 4 ounces and TUCK everything and you are goood!!!

Thanks for sharing the tips... some I do follow already.. and they really help to clear the security quickly.

Same procedure for entering prison.

this video is why I subscribed

FINALLYYYY !!! Ive been asking for this video alot! thanks !

i have TSA pre on all of my flights which is where you get throgh quickly

LOVE your hair fluffy like this!

The are-line security at Ben-Gurion is the BEST but still Sonia I love your videos

Haha you’re hilarious 😂 thank you so much for this, I do most of it, but great tips❤️❤️❤️

wow she's pretty 😀

you are awesome , i like your videos as im packing for a long trip. Thank you !

Do I have to take my chargers from my carry on?

Hey Sonia, just found your channel [cause I may have to travel by air to places] and I'm wondering if you have any tips for first time fliers [other than the security]..

Hi Sonia! Just wanted to point out that some airport security (especially in Europe) want you to take your DSLR out of your bag too. I've also had problems with purses filled with coins which they can't see through :)

Saludos fellow youtuber. Muchas bendiciones.

Pure genius.

thank you sonia this helped a lot

I have a QUESTION! please HELP! can I carry an EYE LASH CURLER on my carry-on? or would they take that away? Thank you so much for the video Sonia as always, great tips.

The shoes thing is just too bad for me. I'm going on a trip this year (probably the only one I'll ever take in my life) and I'll be doing hiking. I'm only taking a carry on, so I have to wear my lace up boots instead of wasting space in my bag for them. I'll keep them untied, loosened, and tuck in the laces, and that will have to do.

I could not have said it better.

This was extremely helpful 🌍 🚕 🛫 😎 Thanks for sharing 😁😁😁

I bring those disposable nylon stocking pedi feet things that shoe stores have. I slip them on over my socks/bare feet to go through security, them toss them after I get my shoes back! Bring another pair for the return flight!

I have never asked to take out my liquids from my bag.. I used San Jose Ca, or San Francisco airport.

Your videos are truly amazing and you deserve way more subscribers compared to the amount of work you put into these videos, but then again I guess your tips are just the local's secret! Haha Thanks Sonia!

I love this video and I love your channel you are very smart

Sonia, My husband and I just recently started traveling, both in the US and abroad. I LOVE your videos and find them extremely helpful. I have one question... Is it preferable to have TSA precheck or global entry for someone who makes about 2 trips per year?

so true

Also there is $85 for 5 years to get TSA pre approved. So if you are travelling a lot, it is worthy.

I'm travel next year i have 7 months before my vacay 2017..

The only time I had to take off my shoes on an airport, was, when I travelled to the USA. Every other time I went through security, I didn't have to take them off...

Is TSA PRE for all countries? Does it work for budget airlines? It sounds AMAAAAAZING!!! :) I am salivating just with thought of it!

I can't believe your chilean! I am chilean too!

Sonia, Very informative vlog. I was wondering if I will need to take out my iPad and phone for X-ray along with my computer?

you look like a classier version of Kendall Jenner

Tip 3 "every pax can be chosen for a special security procedure it means pat down ,search inside shoes,It happened to me in china. the most important tip "cooperate"

I find that if I make a joke about carrying explosives, the TSA guys think I’m so funny and entertaining that they just wave me through in payback.

What if you're flying First Class? Are you put into a different line than everyone else? Also, is it true that you get a pat-down-check while in Airport Security? Cause' I don't feel comfortable about that, hehe. And lastly, will your carry-on bag be checked as well, or do you get to hold on to it going through Airport Security?

lol your so funny! love the comments on "TSA - PRE approved" !! ;p

Great video...... I'm guessing I'll never see the video for the subject I asked for ages ago.. :( ...... but still good tips anyways..

In Singapore, everything airportish is a breeze. 1) Stuff in bins. Roughly the same but faster. 2) Kids take off shoes and through the metal detector thingy. Adults don't have to most of the time. 3) Passport + ID Check. A breeze! PS. Declaration of special liquids bla bla bla is during immigration. The place before the gate and after the airport you first step in. I apologize if information is incorrect. That's what happens on my travels. :)

When we flew from NYC to Canada, my dad and i ended up getting put through the express security randomly. It took twenty seconds, whereas my mum and brother took over thirty minutes. Don't ask why or how, we just got lucky!

I'm going to China with my school, so I'm praying the tickets are pre-approved.

There's an enrollment fee for TSA Pre

I just flew out to California in September and December. I have a Timbuk2 Commuter messenger bag ( www.timbuk2.com/commute-tsa-ipad-laptop-messenger-bag/269-6-2001.html ) and I love it cause the back, that holds the laptop, unzips and all I have to do is flip it over and spread it out. Nothing has to be removed from the bag. :) My local airport TSA people love the bag too. :)

you are soooo pretty !

Stevie's doppleganger !!!!

i usually just take everything that might keep me getting checked and stuff them in my backpack. obviously, anything like phone, chargers, earphones i put in their own pocket of the bag, just in case they ask me to open and show them. never bring water with you, unless you're ready to throw it away. i think shoes should not be a problem whatsoever.. and that's it! :D it's other who take so long to get through not me!!! :/

How you "declare" stuff like pill medications? Do you just tell the TSA agent when they check your ID and boarding pass?

you are just awesome!

Tip 1 Wear long sock, never go bare foot Tip 2 MAKE SURE YOU PACKED EVERYTHING YOU NEED I like to recheck everything i have

I do all these, BUT THE PEOPLE IN FRONT OF ME IN THE QUEUE DON'T!

For the 3.4 oz liquids, can i hold them in a black mesh make up bag instead of a ziplock bag?

Its the same in the uK with liquids except we are only aloud 10 100ml bottles

Awesome tips thanks!!!

Good advice 😄

loved ur attitudes ;)

Still making great videos Sonia :)

When are you going to do a summer packing video

I have a question. If I have a quart size bag of liquids in one carry on (not checking any bags) and another in a handbag, is his allowed?

i live for travel tip Thursdays

In Singapore , we don't even have to take out any clothing at all

your hair looks beautiful in this video :)

hey sonia can u please tell me where to keep the liquids , the toiletries , in carryon or in luggage?

Would you suggest tsa pre-check for anyone that isn't a frequent flyer?

I'm traveling after a long time in a few months so I'm not exactly sure how things went. But do you have to take off your earrings if you're wearing any and do you also have to put you phone in the bin? Also, can we carry regular chargers or do they have to go in checked bags? And my last question is, you can have a carry on AND a personal item which can be counted as a purse, right?

Different procedures apply at different airports,depends what airport you are going through which makes it somewhat trickey !

I wish I could go through quickly! I have a service dog that has to be checked. I have tens units on each side of my lower back and they set the alarms off and takes 30-45 min usually to get through. Never fail I get a real thorough pat down and been stripped search!! Argg....

You can use plastic buckles belt 😉

With all that trouble, why even go? It took me 45 mins to get thru TSA at DFW and there were only four people ahead of me. If you go with private aviation, there's no security.

You use Moltan Brown, good girl! :)

I NEED ADVICE. I've heard from numerous sources that if I try to take a ceiling or straightening iron with me in a carry on ,it will be taken away. HELP PLEASE. Need to figure this out

Sonia do you have to declare protein powder when you take it through carry on?

what should I do f I travel with a mini album with pictures in my bag

Chile Passport? Do you have dual citizenship and if so can you use either passport from both countries.

TSA is only in the US, right? Also the shoe thing...that's only in america too, right? I have never had to take off my shoes at an airport anywhere else. Maybe vietnam? that's about it...

I have a question please. How did you call that plastic bag in which we put fluid containers? I couldn t distinguish the word..

If I have only one bottle of liquid 80ml, do I have to put it in a plastic bag?

This is a tip a lot of people need to know lol
