Do you have any tips for my flight to Amherst?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and discovering Amherst in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and wear flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Amherst?
The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Amherst in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:
  • Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Want to bring along your favourite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
  • There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
