*Most problems and anxiety can be avoided if you get to the airport EARLY.

*DO NOT FORGET YOUR ID. I REPEAT: DO NOT FORGET YOUR ID. You will need to show ID at least 3 different times before you get on the plane (checking in, going through security, boarding the plane).

I saw you're flying AirTran, and I flew with them from the DC area about a week and a half ago. When we checked our big bags at the ticket counter, they still insisted on going through every item inside our bags, running their little wand over every shoe, etc. Except that he didn't repack anything the correct way, put the toiletries I'd had in the outside pocket in the main part of my suitcase, and I got lotion all over everything. I would definitely keep all the shampoos/makeup that you're checking in a ziplock baggie in case you're also randomnly selected.

I wore flip flops to make it easier to take on and off, but I still had to place them in the bin to be X-Rayed, and whoever mentioned having your ID accessible, YES. We got asked for our ID 3 times while in the same line! They just had randomnly posted people in the one line to keep checking boarding passes and IDs.

To Kddani: I know that some insurance companies, like USAA offer great discounts on rental cars at several different companies. Also, when I flew last week, we had a car reserved, but noticed on the back of the inflight magazine a coupon for our particular company right before we landed, and were able to save additional money with that. So keep your eyes open, they let us use both offers at once.
