Flight Rules

For safety's sake and to ease your way through the airport, remember the following:

Check your flight status before you go to the airport -- schedules change more these days.
If you're taking a flight after a stopover, reconfirm your onward booking a day in advance.
Allow at least an hour for check-in on domestic flights, three for international trips.
Fly in the mornings -- takeoffs are less likely to be slowed by earlier delays. (One famous exception: foggy New Delhi in winter!)
For a good ID, take your driver's license or passport with you.
Check heavy stuff. Assume carry-ons will be scrutinized. The less you carry, the faster you'll get through.
Don't wrap gifts. You may have to unwrap and show them to security.
Leave knives, scissors, nail clippers, tweezers, screwdrivers, knitting needles, toy guns at home or pack them in checked luggage.
