Bon Voyage: Bye Bye Indy
Bon Voyage: Bye Bye Indy

Airport security has never been our favorite part of traveling. For folks flying out of Indy, the routine of taking off your shoes, standing on a cold floor, and rushing to gather your belongings before they get pushed down the belt has always felt like more stress than it’s worth. But there’s good news: starting now, you no longer have to remove your shoes during TSA screenings.
That’s right. Homeland Security announced a nationwide update that means keeping your kicks on while moving through security at Indianapolis International Airport and airports across the country. This change is the result of new technology and stronger security protocols behind the scenes, so the safety is still there, just without the hassle.
Let’s be honest, nobody wants to step barefoot on that airport floor, especially during the busy summer travel season. Whether you’re heading to visit family, taking a long overdue vacation, or hopping on a flight for business, this small update can make a big difference.
Now you don’t have to worry about the delay of retying sneakers, the embarrassment of holey socks, or your toddlers holding up the line. You can just keep it moving.
Of course, certain shoes or situations might still trigger extra screening, but overall, this move is a win for convenience, comfort, and quicker lines at the airport.
So Indy, lace up those kicks, slide through TSA with ease, and start your trip off on the right foot, literally.
