  • Expert. Travel more than 3 times a year to different places. I know what to pack, what to take, where to stay is planned ahead and travel doesn't worry me. I don't view travel as a hassle even though I get "Frisked" by security from head to toe.

    16 88.89%

  • Moderate. Get around quite often. More than once a year. Sometimes I worry about where to stay, what to do, what to bring. I may tell TSA to chill out with their magical wands.

    2 11.11%

  • Not often. But have travelled to some nice places at least once a year. I plan like crazy so that this trip lessens my stress. I may get into fist fights at the airport at the security line with TSA.

    0 0%

  • I work for the airlines but I seldom fly. I prefer to drive. I may be a member of motorist clubs such as AAA. Flying scares me and I am so UN-INTERNATIONAL I make people in the airlines sick.

    Moderate traveler here. I travel frequently but haven't yet mastered the "juggling act" at screening. Now I have no problem with part one- I can juggle my ID, boarding pass, carry-on, cell phone, jacket and one-quart oz plastic bag with noooooo problem. What throws me off is the "shoe shuffle". I can slip off one shoe without difficulty; however, removing the second shoe proves disastrous. I don't know if its the one shoe/one footie that throws my balance off, or the hopping on one foot, either way, something or somethingssss always end up hitting the floor.
    I believe it is this "crash, bam, boom, along with my frustrated sigh and eye roll that get me noticed by TSA.
    I aways get the secondary screening. Wands Up!
    Keep'em Flying

    I'd like to consider myself an 'expert', especially for short hops. I only take as much as that will fit in a carry on sized bag, slip on shoes and try to maintain a 'they're just doing their job' attitude - I'd rather them catch me in the extra screen net than to have them miss someone who could cause problems.

    Especially non reving, you gotta go with the flow...

    I have noticed that if I go a few months without travelling, I don't really get thrown off. I think I automatically know what to look for and expect. Unless things change drastically. Travel requires alot of moving around on your feet. I definately don't move around like when I was say 25. But I still get around. I sometimes trade off pain for seeing what I need to see. If I start to get achey, from so much walking around, I just try to take more breaks. I found while in Canada, my legs were in pain including my ankles. I must have walked one of those days at least 3 or four miles including in the malls ect...
    I found that by going to my hotel and using the heated whirlpool with a good rest, relieved alot of tension. I know we end up walking alot on trips. I kind of plan it that way to avoid over eating, under excercising and getting sloppy/lazy on the trip.
