How to survive the flight to Idlewild?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Idlewild could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a sensible choice.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Idlewild?
A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Idlewild a breeze. We've rounded up some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

  • Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
