How to survive the flight to Philadelphia?
If you’re not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a pain-free start to your getaway in Philadelphia.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you hope to catch a few z’s, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you’ll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and take a sweater just in case you get chilly. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
  • The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Philadelphia?
Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Philadelphia a pleasure. Check out our useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
  • Travelling with a new cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, it’s fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren’t.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
