Do you have any tips for my flight to Ithaca?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and exploring Ithaca in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be easy if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting 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 Ithaca?
It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Ithaca, here you come:

  • First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
