How to quickly navigate the airport: tips from an experienced traveler

When arriving at the airport, passengers often face the problem of how to exit the terminal quickly. After all, the situation can be complicated by huge crowds of passengers who create long lines.

On social media, experienced travelers share their tips on how to avoid getting stuck in an airport traffic jam upon arrival and exit as quickly as possible. These tips are discussed in the New York Post article.

Lindsay Mukaddam, a young woman who often travels by plane, has revealed her "secret" on how to exit the airport faster. In a viral 14-second video that has garnered more than 1.1 million views online, the 37-year-old traveler recalled her simple advice for leaving the airport as soon as possible.

"Go to the departure level if the arrival level is completely full of cars," she said. She also explained that then the person meeting you will be able to go up without any problems and won't have to wait in line.

"At least I don't have to wait to go home anymore," she explained. At the same time, the experienced traveler demonstrated by her own example how quickly she exits the airport upon arrival.

"I learned about this hack because airports actually have signs encouraging travelers to use both levels for boarding and disembarking. Not everyone pays attention to it, but those who do, wait less," she explained her trick in a comment. At the same time, the woman notes that "this trick won't work at all airports" because some don't have separate areas for departures and arrivals.

Muqaddam's tips can help tired travelers get through the airport, and the tricks of one former FBI agent can help at the hotel. So, former FBI special agent and CIA officer Tracy Walder recommends staying in a room between the third and sixth floors. She believes that these rooms are located low enough off the main floor for emergency access but far enough away from intruders who break in on the ground floor.

Once in her room, Walder makes sure to lock the door and leave the deadbolt on for "an extra layer of security." "I hope to give people a variety of options for security control and encourage them to use what they can control themselves," the security specialist explained.
