With security measures being stepped up again recently following a further US terror warning airport security queues are lengthening again.
The Department For Transport have issued more instructions concerning electronic equipment and this includes the removal of laptops and large electronic devices from hand baggage during checks.
Most Travel Insurance policies do not cover damage caused to equipment left in checked baggage during transit - so, as usual, we advise passengers to book in earlier and make sure they are prepared for the additional checks and delays at airports.

| Airports aren't always this quiet - but you can choose your time... |
Here are a few ideas:
Avoid Weekends when airports are at their most chaotic, book in between 11am and 4pm weekdays to avoid the crowds
Book your parking or use a Parking Service to keep the stress of driving round and around the huge parking areas at airports. Using a Bus Service in or using a valet service will be slightly more costly but infinitely less stressful and there are great offers to look out for.
Make your check in simple by printing your boarding pass before hand if you can (outbound and inbound). You'll still have to check in baggage - but arriving with plenty of time in hand will keep the stress to a minimum and if you can just take hand baggage then you can avoid this part of the hassle for most flights.
Fast Track through security is often available for a small fee (£3 - £5) but if you don't want to pay then at least make sure your hand luggage is within the size limits and hand luggage restrictions for weight and number of items.
Executive Lounges are usually available and can take some of the discomfort of waiting in throngs away and ease you into your holiday with a newspaper and a breakfast or lunch before the flight.
Use of common sense and knowing in advance what your stresses might be will always reduce the headache of airports all around the world - have a good flight!
