    Be sure to sign up for the program TSA pre-check. It is a fantastic program and will save Tons of time at Lambert Airport. C gates have a rapid entry point where you don't have to remove shoes, etc.

    At security, put your wallet, phone, keys, change, etc. in your bag or your coat pocket. It keeps your stuff together and it's much easier to get your stuff on the other side of the x-ray

    Grab a bite to eat or drink at the Schlafly Tap Room by the security check point. The food is awesome and the beer is a staple of St. Louis.

    Go to the bathrooms or somewhere where you can hear the piped-in music. It's like 60s infomercial, and it's very delightful.

    Don't forget to leave your computer in your carry-on, your shoes tied tightly to your feet and with any toiletries, be sure they're in oversized containers haphazardly placed in your satchel.

    Hands down one of the nicest and cleanest airports I've been in! The bathroom stalls are large enough to fit your carry one without having fear of tripping and falling to the lu!

    Terminal 2 (or the East Terminal) is a breeze to deal with. With TSA Pre-Check I am through security in less than 15 minutes (even when busy) and the food options a good and have a lot of variety.

    The bathrooms are no-touch. You can enter, get soap, wash your hands, and leave without touching anything. Win!

    While at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport, enjoy the art glass installations in concourses A and C. Nine local artists created concepts for an overall glass canvas of nearly 50 square feet.

    Make sure to get here early as security lines are long and don't always move quickly, especially for SW. Good food choices beyond security though which is a nice change.

    To get through security quickly, have liquids and computers out of ur bag and shoes and coats off and put it all on the belt to scan. Toss the water or down it. Babies out of their carriers too!

    Find the secret "family" bathrooms if you can. Most people are confused as to whether or not they are allowed to use them so they are usually unoccupied and they are much cleaner!!

    Make sure you pay attention to which terminal your airline is located...or you'll have to go through security more than once.

    If you booked with Southwest but you are flying Air Tran you still need to check in with SouthWest. Also if you are going into "the city" so much cheaper to take Metro( $4.00 vs$40.00) .Straight shot

    At any airport, wear your flip flops, it makes getting through security so much faster! Put your other shoes in a bag, and ladies flip flops fit in your purse.

    Try peeing on the flies. Fly (as in insect) stickers on the interior back of the urinal tank. How would you like to have the job of putting those stickers on....juvenile but it is the men's room.
