Do you have any tips for my flight to Big Bend?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Big Bend could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Big Bend?
Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Big Bend easy and painless. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

  • Keep your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Want to bring along your favourite perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
