Why you should always choose the security line on the left at the airport
Want to get through airport security faster? Choose the line on the left!
Expert travellers have revealed how choosing the right line ahead of your flight actually makes a big difference during peak travel times.
More often than not we rush through the security check without giving much thought to which queue we join. And it often feels like we’ve chosen the slow queue!
However, according to a user on online forum Quora, we subconsciously pick which side to line up on depending on our dominant hand.
Considering the majority of people are right-handed, the lines on the right will be busier than those on the left.
Another reason to stick to the left? The travel expert also explained that some airports have an extra security line for spillover passengers located off to the side of the main queues.
The Quora user, who calls himself an expert on airports, said: “Because they are mostly right-handed, people choose the right line while the left one is often less busy.
“Some airports also have a hidden security line, away from the rest, often faster than all the rest.”
