4 Mistakes to Avoid Making at the Airport

June 6, 2017 | Charlottesville limo service, Richmond limousine service, Virginia limousine service | Randy Allen

We know the airport can be a hassle, which is probably why many do not love the experience. Still, there are a few things that can be done to make the experience a little better. The following are four mistakes that are often made at the airport that can be easily avoided.

  1. Not Taking Advantage of Technology

One mistake that many travelers make is not taking advantage of the technology available to them. Several airports, including the airports in Charlottesville and Richmond, have smartphone apps for customers. These applications help inform travelers of delays, cancellations, and much more helpful information. We think that you should download these apps before you leave home to make things easier for you. They can also be helpful if you need to leave the airport for some time.

  1. Unmarked Bags

One big mistake that people make is not marking their luggage. Most luggage looks the same, making them hard to spot once they come rolling by on the conveyor belt. Many people mistakenly pick up luggage that is not theirs, leading to a waste of valuable time. It would be best to mark each luggage with something random. Some people wrap a bright-colored tag around the handle, but others sew on patches or other things on the luggage that is a little more unique. Of course, you could consider buying luggage that doesn’t blend in easily with others. You should opt for bright colors that most people do not like.

  1. Opting Against PreCheck Clearance

Those who travel more than others should definitely consider getting the TSA PreCheck clearance. With this clearance, you can avoid taking off your shoes or emptying out your carry-on belongings onto trays. It does cost $85 to apply, and the enrollment process takes some time, but clearance lasts for 5 years, which is definitely worth it for those who travel a lot. If you are still debating, you should know that we have heard many stories of people losing items during the TSA check because they were putting their belongings in trays. This is something that those with the TSA PreCheck will not have to worry about any longer.

  1. Not Planning Ground Transportation

Another mistake that many travelers make is not planning ahead regarding how they are going to get from the airport to their destination. This usually happens because people think they are going to have a lot of choices, and this part of their traveling can be overlooked. This is why some people are overcharged. What you can do is prepare by looking at some of the options we have, such as our Charlottesville airport shuttle service. Those coming in from Richmond might want to consider our limo service in Richmond. Not only will you get fair prices from our staff but also experienced chauffeurs who will provide a luxurious, safe, and comfortable service.

Hopefully, these tips help take away all the stress associated with traveling, which should always be as easy as possible.
