How to survive the flight to Independence?
If you’re poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a pain-free start to your getaway in Independence.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready 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 bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and don’t forget to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
  • The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression socks can also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Independence?
The secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Independence before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Can’t travel without your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, you’re permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
