How to survive the flight to Chico?
We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you’ll be speeding through the airport and discovering Chico before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s easy — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you’ll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you’ll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack 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 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Chico?
Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Chico a breeze. Below you’ll find some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

  • First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy so you don’t have to dig around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Travelling with a new hand cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, it’s OK to bring with you on board.
  • There’s a good chance you’ll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
