How to survive the flight to Ankeny?
We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Ankeny in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let’s start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It’s also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don’t forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • You’ve probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There’s lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ankeny?
It’s simple — be prepared. We’ve pulled together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Ankeny, here you come:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They’ll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
