From Kim Knox Beckius, your About Travel Editor
Greetings, Travelers! Our Experts make travel as easy as ABC... and even Z! This week, we'll show you how comprehensive our travel coverage can be. Hopefully, you'll learn a thing or two... or even 26! ~Kim

A is for Airport Security
Even if you're an infrequent flyer, you probably know there are limits on the liquids you can carry on a plane, and wearing shoes that are difficult to remove can trip you up at security checkpoints. But... do you really know whether your iPad has to be removed from your carry-on bag? Or exactly what to say if you're randomly pulled aside for enhanced screening? Before your next flight, review these detailed tips for clearing airport security with ease.

B is for Bumping
Airline bumping is what happens when a passenger is holding a confirmed ticket for a flight but isn't allowed to board, usually because the flight is overbooked. Sounds horrible, right? Not necessarily. Learn the ins and outs of being bumped... voluntarily or involuntarily.

C is for Camping
First off: C is for congratulations! About.com Camping was recently named the best outdoors Web site by the Outdoor Writers Association of California. And that means you can rely on our Camping Expert Monica Prelle for advice on sleeping outdoors... and actually getting some sleep!

D is for Doughnuts
Bacon Maple doughnuts. Is there anything more you really need to hear before you place Voodoo Doughnuts in Old Town Portland, Oregon, on your bucket list? Open 24 hours a day and known for its inventive flavors... and for selling some doughnuts that are rather risqué, this doughnut shop is a welcoming place to satisfy your creative cravings.
