Do you have any tips for my flight to Knoxville?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Knoxville escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Knoxville?
The answer is simple — be organised. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Knoxville, here you come:
  • Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off 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, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
