Do you have any tips for my flight to Paterson?
If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a pleasant start to your getaway in Paterson. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be easy if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

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 sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Paterson?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Paterson easy and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

  • Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
  • Can't travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
