Do you have any tips for my flight to Long Island City?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Long Island City holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Long Island City?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Long Island City easy and painless. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

  • Be sure to have your travel documents and ID close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
