How to Cut 90 Minutes Off Your Time at the Airport: A CBS Early Show Report

With more planes flying at full capacity, airport crowds are intensifying. A crowded airport is not just unpleasant. More fliers means longer lines at check-in, security, boarding and baggage claims. And those longer lines translate into significantly more time at the airport.

Check out this CBS Early Show report to see the Peter Greenberg method for efficient airport travel.

    Printing a boarding pass at home saves some time.  However, if you need to check a bag, you still have to stand in the line to check in to deal with the bag.

    Don’t go to the Q-line till it’s almost empty, just drink a cofé and relax, some airlines disembark the last bags first on arrivel. You save time and you can be more relaxed, what do you need more? In the worst case, you only relax and don’t save time.

    Travel light, don’t take bags unless it’s realy neccesary. Just take a small handbag, you save up a lot of time and troubles of lost bags.

    Try to sit in a seat near a door, when they start disembarkment, you are first in line and you probably can get on the plane late, because this seats are rearly taken. The drawback is, it are not the best spots on the plain, but hé, what spot is a good place, beside first class?
