In the last ten years taking a flight on a plane has gone from a simply jaunt through the skies into a major security event. That is because during this time many terrorists have tried to explode the planes that they were flying in using everyday household items. This means that now everyone who travels by airplane has to follow a strict code to keep them and their fellow passengers safe. Security checks are thorough and lines are long. However, if you know what you can and cannot take in your checked and carry on luggage you can significantly speed up your time going through security. It is inconvenient, but the rules are in place to keep you safe. They are even more strict in countries that have been the victim of terror attacks in the past; UK flights have some of the strictest security measures in the world. Be prepared when you fly.
