Do you have any tips for my flight to New Orleans?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to New Orleans could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to New Orleans?
The secret is to be well organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to New Orleans in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

  • Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything 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 need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Want to bring along your favourite cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
  • There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
