TRAVEL TIPS TO MAKE YOUR EXPERIENCE ENJOYABLE

Traveling, particularly air travel, is rated as one of the most stressful things we put ourselves through.  To make your air travel experience as stress free as possible, we recommend the following:

  TRAVEL LIGHT
Pack the bare minimum.  don't try to bring everything for every occasion.  The more baggage you bring to the airport, the more likely you will run into complications.

  KNOW WHAT YOU ARE CARRYING
Too many times, travelers are delayed at security checkpoints because of disallowed items in their carry bags.  Many times, the traveler isn't even aware the items are in their bags.  Make sure you go through your bags and that you are not carrying prohibited items.  A current list of prohibited items can be found on the TSA Website.

  DRESS FOR SUCCESS!
In today's aviation world, security is tops!  Security screeners take a hard look at everything that could conceivably be used as a weapon.  Unfortunately, that means the more metal you have on your person when you go through the security check points, the harder security will look at you.  While there is no dress code to fly, what you wear can make a difference in your traveling experience.

  GIVE YOURSELF TIME
Please arrive at the Jackson Hole Airport in plenty of time to check in and get through screening.. Most airlines recommend 2 hours prior to scheduled departure.  At the Jackson Hole Airport, the person checking you in is the same person loading your bags and boarding you.  If you arrive 20 minutes prior to your scheduled departure there is a good chance no one will be available to check you in because they are loading  bags.  Just because there is no line doesn't mean you will be helped.

In addition to the above, contact your airline for recommendations they may have to facilitate your trip.  Also, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has put together an informative web page to help get you through airport security.  You visit the site at http://www.tsa.gov.
