Advice for US Airplane travel?

Travel Info
I'm a airplane newbie, and don't know all the little tricks to make getting through security/terminal easy. Please give me tips on what I should do to prepare for my flight. Examples are like wearing shoes that I can easily take off/put on to get through the security gate faster, or not carrying a lighter.

Travel Tips

Take a small ziploc bag in your pocket. When you have to take off your watch, empty your pockets and put all metal in the dish to go through the scanner, put them all into the bag first. It makes it faster to grab when exiting the security area. Don't wear your belt put it in your carry on then you can put it on after security. In your carry on bag, you are only allowed 3 oz or smaller bottles of liquids in one ziploc bag and it has to close.

Why don't you call the airline that you have your travel plans booked with and ask them? They would be able to give you the best answers and answer any further questions you may have.
Well, you are off to a good start. Here are the tricks that have worked for me: make sure you leave plenty of time to check in at the gate and for security lines, wear shoes that can be taken off and put back on easily, don't carry a lighter (take safety matches). Pack everything in the bag you are going to check through. I only take my ID, ticket, and a book on the plane. Make sure you have you ID and boarding pass ready when going through security.
