8 airport tricks that all travelers should know

Going through airports can often be a daunting and stressful task; But by knowing a few simple tricks, you can turn your travel experience into a comfortable and worry-free adventure. Whether you are a seasoned traveler or flying for the first time, knowing the important airport tips can save you time, money and possible problems.

From planning how to pack your bags to getting through security quickly, these top tips will help you travel like a pro and get your trip off to a great start.

1. Check in online

Save time and avoid long queues by checking in online before arriving at the airport. Most airlines allow you to check in 24-48 hours before your flight. You can also choose your favorite seat and find out about important flight changes.

2. Carry a power bank

Keeping your devices charged is essential for connecting to the internet and being entertained on the go. With a power bank, you will no longer worry about running out of charge for your mobile phone, tablet or laptop. Remember to fully charge it before traveling.

3. Wear comfortable shoes without laces

You usually have to take off your shoes at security stops. Wearing shoes without laces or with simple laces will make this step faster and easier. This will especially help you when you are in a hurry.

4. Use airport lounges

In Imam Khomeini, Mehrabad and Shiraz airports, there are rooms that are a good place to rest, use the Internet and charge devices. These spaces help you to rejuvenate in a calm environment before your flight.

5. Put the essentials in the handbag

Put medications, an extra set of clothes, toiletries, and important documents in your carry-on bag. This will ensure that you have access to essential items in case your luggage is delayed or lost, and you can easily use them during the flight.

6. Use airport VIP services

Many airports offer special VIP services that include dedicated check-in counters, faster passage through security stops, and access to lounges. Using these services, especially during peak times, can make your travel experience easier and faster and reduce stress.

7. Track your flight status

Check the status of your flight using airline apps or flight tracking websites. These applications inform you of delays, gate changes or flight cancellations in real time and help you to adjust your plans better. Many apps also provide useful information about airport services.

8. Take an empty water bottle with you

Go through security with an empty water bottle and fill it up from the water cooler after you pass through the checkpoint. This will both save you money and help reduce plastic waste, and you will always have the water you need during your trip.
