No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Follow these handy hints that will get your Ocean Shores holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.
What to wear on a flight:
  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ocean Shores?
The answer is simple — be organised. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Ocean Shores, here you come:
  • Be sure to have your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag 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 need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
  • Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
  • Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
