Do you have any tips for my flight to Benton?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Benton holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, 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 can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Benton?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Benton in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:
  • Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
