Advanced: Reading Comprehension

You’re all packed and ready to go on the vacation of your dreams. The only thing between you and some fun in the sun is the airport. Here are three suggestions to get you to your destination as quickly as possible.

1)  Arrive early — There is nothing worse than arriving at the airport only to find a massive pile-up at the security station. Make sure you get to the airport a couple of hours before your flight.

2)  Plan for a carry-on security screening — Don’t bring objects through the carry-on screening unless it is essential that you do so. Many things, such as fluids, are better left in your checked baggage.

3) Plan ahead for a body scanning — Everyone is going to have a body scan. Remember that anything metallic will set the alarm off, so you might not want to wear a belt or jewelry. Additionally, make sure you don’t have any change in your pockets.
