Do you have any tips for my flight to Independence?
If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a pain-free start to your holiday in Independence. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • First of all, pack your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
  • Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Independence?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Independence before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:
  • First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. 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.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Travelling with your favourite cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
