Do you have any tips for my flight to Columbia Falls?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Columbia Falls escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a great experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Columbia Falls?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Columbia Falls easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your 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.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
