A few weeks ago I posted about bringing tissues and sanitizing wipes on every trip moving forward. One of the comments was a question, asking if TSA allowed wipes through. The reader thought since they are technically wet, they may not be allowed. I have flown with face wipes many times, never taken them out…
Last week was my first trip away from home since I had my baby. One of my big concerns was traveling with breast milk. The TSA rules are pretty straightforward, but I’ve heard that in practice they are not super consistent (shocker right?). The rules from the TSA website are: Breast milk is exempt from…
I recently received a question from Reader M: Like you, I’m a knitter. Is TSA allowing knitting items through now? Great question! After 9-11, there was some pushback about carrying knitting needles onto planes. However, a few years ago the regulations relaxed and knitters are once again allowed to work on their projects while flying.…

I want to preface this by stating that I don’t usually wear belts for function. That is, pretty much any time I put on a belt it’s for looks, not to actually hold my pants up. So this particular tip actually comes from the Home Warrior, who had a memorable experience while flying this summer.…
Hard to believe it’s already been a year! Talk about time flying. This time last year I was planning a trip to Manila and getting ready for Blog World. Fun times! One year ago: I shared my Top Five Travel Necessities for Airplanes, Hotels, and Grooming. A friend reminded people how important it is to…
A few weeks ago, some friends went to Vegas for a long weekend. After going through security, they took their bins full of stuff to the benches to put their shoes on, etc. (Just like I always want people to do!) Since there are full body scanners in Vegas, they had to take everything out…
When you arrive at the airport, one of the first obstacles you encounter to getting to your final destination is the security line. Hundreds of people, all trying to get through that rope line to prove who they are, take off their shoes, send all of their belongings through an X-ray machine, then go through…
On a recent trip through airport security, I was stuck behind a very nice elderly woman. You could tell that she doesn’t travel often, so I tried to be patient. She carefully placed all of her belongings in the bins, lining up each thing. Not totally sure why she was being so precise, I kept…
On a recent trip, I parked my car at the off-site facility I use, like normal. I got on the shuttle and rode it to the airport, like normal. Everyone else got off the shuttle at the first stop, and I was the last person still waiting to get dropped off. The shuttle driver was…
