Keep Everything to a Minimum
These days, dropping off your checked luggage is not necessarily a one-step process. In some airports, once you've dragged everything to the ticket counter to check in, you'll be required to drag it to another area to have it X-rayed, and from there it will be loaded onto the plane. Security checkpoint lines are long, and everything (including your shoes) gets X-rayed. So, again, the less you're carrying, the better.
