Tip #1: Don't wear a turban.
Tip #2: Look as white as you can.
Works everytime.
lol tip 2 killed me😂😂😂
My name doesn't help haha
cherrie
I fly free anywhere on American and 90% discount on foreign airlines so I get there early and relax at airline guest lounge.
Only with a carryon,57 countries,over 3 million miles,over 30 different airlines .
Works every time as well.
I'm very very black so that will be impossible
Racist
I just saw the title and started laughing bitterly. I'm Muslim. Airport security is never quick.
noor wth Exactly. Step 1. Look like a fair-skinned western European or put on rice powder.
noor wth I'm so sorry for how you are treated. It's embarrassing to be American sometimes these days. At least embarrassed of what our "leaders" are doing. I'm sorry, world. Please forgive us.
yup I'm Indian and I always get stared at and I'm like what the heck I promise you I'm just as normal as everyone else here with their family, super frustrating
BOOM!
Ohh, an American busy feeling sooory for a self chosen dominant religion.. Sweet 👍
Ever heard of "Virtue Signalling"
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.
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.
Check for drugs xD
WOW really?? I've never seen that! Lol
soniastravels It's happened the last two or three times I went flying XD It wasn't even international or anything, I was going to visit my grandparents.
I also have to get checked like this because of my long dreadlocks
I had the same experience. I was flying from Hawaii back to California and they checked the crown of my head and my hair was down. I even had to pass through the TRA xray. I have no idea what they were trying to find at the top of my head.
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!
I sure wish Sonia was making more videos. Her ideas were so helpful.
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 RUclips lady. Approved.
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.
You have the website wrong Sonia. It should be www.tsa.gov/tsa-precheck
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.
Amy Dickey I feel like most of the tsa don't even know the rules
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 use my time in the line to daydream about my destination xD
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.
Same procedure for entering prison.
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!!!
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
Hello, Carolina. I have 36 titanium pins and 4 plates in my jaws and cheek bones and have never had any problem getting through airport security when traveling to or from the US. Despite that, I also have prepared myself in the case of having to explain my robotic face to a TSA agent. 😂 I am a frequent traveler; but, so far, so good.
Wow! This video should be printed, as a poster! A sure keeper. Thanks Sonia. :)
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!
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
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. 🙂🙂🙂
this video is why I subscribed
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.
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) )
FINALLYYYY !!! Ive been asking for this video alot! thanks !
Thank you for this video! It made me a little less anxious about the security line💖💖💖
wow she's pretty 😀
Yes but doesn't she know it
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
Thanks for sharing the tips... some I do follow already.. and they really help to clear the security quickly.
i have TSA pre on all of my flights which is where you get throgh quickly
LOVE your hair fluffy like this!
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.
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...
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 have never asked to take out my liquids from my bag.. I used San Jose Ca, or San Francisco airport.
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 :)
Also there is $85 for 5 years to get TSA pre approved. So if you are travelling a lot, it is worthy.
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. :)
The are-line security at Ben-Gurion is the BEST but still Sonia I love your videos
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!!! :/
Do I have to take my chargers from my carry on?
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!
Pure genius.
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?
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.
they might take it away, try checking the website of the airline you're flying with or asking them, it can vary. They don't allow sharp things like scissors and tweezers though :) good luck
They shouldn't take it away. It is not on the list of banned items. That said some TSA agents are mega strict.
It's not mentioned on their website, google said they shouldn't. I think I'm gonna try and hope they don't hehe. Thank you Jess and Sonia! :D
I have never had one take mine away. Ever. I keep it in my makeup bag with my brushes and dry makeup goods. It's never been mentioned. Neither have my tiny tweezers, or my metal lash comb. With VERY rare exceptions, I NEVER check bags.
Jess Rushworth I put my eyelash curler in my carry on all the time. (I never check bags, I only do carry on) there has never been a problem with it, I even have a tweezer in my carry on, also never had a problem.
you are awesome , i like your videos as im packing for a long trip. Thank you !
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]..
Lol she never answered
thank you sonia this helped a lot
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!
Is TSA PRE for all countries? Does it work for budget airlines? It sounds AMAAAAAZING!!! :) I am salivating just with thought of it!
Haha you’re hilarious 😂 thank you so much for this, I do most of it, but great tips❤️❤️❤️
There's an enrollment fee for TSA Pre
I love this video and I love your channel you are very smart
This was extremely helpful 🌍 🚕 🛫 😎 Thanks for sharing 😁😁😁
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?
Matthew Kroch I've flown first/business and you're supposed to have a separate line, they don't always do. I always ask and some agents get annoyed but if I paid for it then why not? Everything you have including Carry ons are checked. You'll only get a pat down if the detector goes off or get picked randomly at Customs.
Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't, you buy your tickets with the airline and the security is technically just a government checkpoint. So basically the TSA security doesn't have to because they aren't controlled by the airlines. But when you fly first class you get called onto the plane first because that is controlled by the airlines.
I'm going to China with my school, so I'm praying the tickets are pre-approved.
I could not have said it better.
I can't believe your chilean! I am chilean too!
I do all these, BUT THE PEOPLE IN FRONT OF ME IN THE QUEUE DON'T!
so true
you look like a classier version of Kendall Jenner
Awesome tips thanks!!!
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!
Same here. Traveling from JFK to Montreal, my 11 year-old son and I were randomly put through the express security line. I don't know why. 🤷♀️
Saludos fellow youtuber. Muchas bendiciones.
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?
In Singapore , we don't even have to take out any clothing at all
For the 3.4 oz liquids, can i hold them in a black mesh make up bag instead of a ziplock bag?
I'm travel next year i have 7 months before my vacay 2017..
Have fun! ^_^
Thank you..
hey sonia can u please tell me where to keep the liquids , the toiletries , in carryon or in luggage?
Different procedures apply at different airports,depends what airport you are going through which makes it somewhat trickey !
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?
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.
Its the same in the uK with liquids except we are only aloud 10 100ml bottles
I think your confusing the word should with "must". You can wear shoes that take ten minutes to take off it you want. It will suck , but you can totally do it.
If I have only one bottle of liquid 80ml, do I have to put it in a plastic bag?
you are just awesome!
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?
Great video...... I'm guessing I'll never see the video for the subject I asked for ages ago.. :( ...... but still good tips anyways..
you are soooo pretty !
lol your so funny! love the comments on "TSA - PRE approved" !! ;p
How you "declare" stuff like pill medications? Do you just tell the TSA agent when they check your ID and boarding pass?
You don't need to declare pills if they are your own prescriptions. It's when you have large amounts that you need to declare it. But that's when you enter the country, not to go through security to enter the gate :)
I'm flying within the US, and will have maybe 2 or 3 bottles. Would that be considered a large amount?
Pink4Kim
if you're flying within the US you're not entering the country.
Regarding medication, if you are traveling with less then 2 weeks worth of pills, they are not going to ask you anything. If it is liquids it has to be declared.
If they are picky or do ask for info all you need is your passport and the prescription bottle, or the paperwork that says what it is and your name on it, that is usually all they need to see and you just sail right through.
I have traveled in the US and to China, I travel with a few medications in a weeks pill container and I have never had any problems with them asking for anything.
Thank you!
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. :)
When i was 9 My Family Flew To See Retives On My Way Back Home I Diant Have To Take Off My Shoes Cause i Was under 12 II was Wearing Boots You Cant Take Off Easily It Took Ages The way There
Stevie's doppleganger !!!!
Would you suggest tsa pre-check for anyone that isn't a frequent flyer?
Good advice 😄
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...
loved ur attitudes ;)
your hair looks beautiful in this video :)
Sonia do you have to declare protein powder when you take it through carry on?
When are you going to do a summer packing video
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
I took mine and it did not get taken away!
Curling Irons and straighteners are okay!
I always wear leggings and spearys (with socks) to not have to remove belts etc and the shoes are so easy to take off.
Still making great videos Sonia :)
hi sonia, i am brasilian and my english us not 100%, please activate the subtitle!!!! congratulation about your work!!!! ;)
Good tips but it needs to be updated to 2017. I would also like to stress No water or drinks It has been 11 years for the 311 rule went into effect and everyone still takes water.
You can use plastic buckles belt 😉
FYI - Pre Approval TSA costs $$$
$85 for 5 years
Chile Passport? Do you have dual citizenship and if so can you use either passport from both countries.
