How to get through airport security fast when traveling to Des Moines
If you like the idea of spending more time at the airport restaurants and less time at the security checkpoint on your way to Des Moines, just follow these useful tips:

  • Ensure your boarding pass and travel ID are easy to access. You will be instructed to produce them straightaway.
  • You’ll need to stop the tunes for a few minutes. Headphones need to be taken off and put in a tub to be X-rayed. The same applies to items such as belts and heavy jackets.
  • Laptops must be taken out of their carry bags and placed in a tray before being X-rayed.
  • When you approach the security checkpoint, you’ll be asked to place all liquids, gels and creams in a separate bin for scanning. Make sure they’re all stored in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and sealed in a clear zip-lock bag.
  • Safety boots and other heavy shoes are likely to be X-rayed at the security checkpoint. Consider wearing simple sneakers instead.
  • Some countries have stringent biosecurity laws. Consider where you’re headed to and whether or not you’re allowed to fly with unpackaged foods.
