Do you have any tips for my flight to Bloomington?
If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Bloomington. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Bloomington?
Being organised before your flight can make your trip to Bloomington a piece of cake. Below are some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
