Most corkscrews can fly, but a small blade or foil-cutter can get it stopped at the checkpoint, so type and packing spot matter. You’re packing for a trip, you toss in a wine opener, and then the doubt hits. Will it make it past security, or will it end up in a bin at the

Checked bags can hold full-size liquids, yet some items still face safety limits, so pack smart and seal every bottle. Most travelers hear “3-1-1” and assume every liquid is a problem. That rule is for carry-on bags at the checkpoint. Checked baggage plays by a different set of rules. You can usually pack larger bottles

You can renew in your current legal name by mailing proof that links your maiden name to it, plus the right form and photo. You’re staring at your passport, your legal name paperwork, and a renewal form that asks for details you haven’t typed in years. If your passport still shows a married name and
