Do you have any tips for my flight to Modesto?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Modesto could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Modesto?
The answer is simple — be organised. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Modesto, here you come:
  • Be sure to have your ID and travel documents close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
