How to survive the flight to Amherst?
If you’re poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there’s no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your time in Amherst.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. First of all you’ll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
  • The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks may also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Amherst?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Amherst in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
