I have really great ideas to make your vacation or business trip less stressful and more enjoyable. A prepared traveler is a smart traveler.
Check with the airlines or internet for luggage and carry on information before you pack and depart. Make sure you know the carry on rules before hand.
When traveling there are several things you can do to make your trip virtually stress free. Make a check list of items you plan to take. Any items you plan to purchase, try to do at least a week before. For last minute shopping make a separate list of items. You should pack a day before your departure using your check list.
Limit your carry on bags to one or two per person. The length, width and height should be measured to be sure it will fit into the overhead carry on compartment or under the seat.
Remember that liquids in carry on luggage should be of no more than 3.4 oz. or three 1 oz. clear containers in one clear plastic bag.
If you purchase any food items at the airport do it after the security checkpoint if possible then you can carry those items on board. This may vary depending on the airport or airline carrier.

Travelers with children or people with medical conditions should inform airport security. Items you may need must be declared for inspection at the checkpoint.
You should have your Laptop and mobile devices in a friendly easy to open bag. At the check point you must remove all mobile devices from the bag, place them in security bins separately with no metal snaps, zippers, or buckles.
Prohibited items are: knives, guns, handguns, stun guns, all toy weapons, swords, hammers, pepper spray, golf clubs, baseball bats, box cutters, screwdrivers, corkscrews, straight razors and pen knives. These items are strictly prohibited by law and cannot be carried on the airplane. Many of these items may be transported at the security baggage check area.
To find out your airline's own rules go to their website which will provide information on fees for checked bags and any additional fees for in flight items, like pets and bulky items. Make sure you do not go over the weight limit or over stuff.
Because of the heightened security, it's a good idea to be at the airport at least two hours before flight time.
I sincerely hope my airline travel information will be helpful.
