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

  • Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Eagle River?
The trick is to be well organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Eagle River in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

  • Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
