How to survive the flight to Des Moines?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Des Moines could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We’ve compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right things. First of all you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and remember to pack a sweater just in case you get cold. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Des Moines?
It’s all about being organised. We’ve pulled together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Des Moines, here you come:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don’t hold up the line.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
