How to survive the flight to Des Plaines?
We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you’ll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Des Plaines in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you’ve got all the right things. First of all you’ll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should always be your highest priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Des Plaines?
The secret is to be well organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Des Plaines in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

  • First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by so you don’t hold up the line.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Travelling with your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you on board.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines won’t allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
