Do you have any tips for my flight to Patterson?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Patterson holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • A plane trip can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
  • Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Patterson?
The trick is to be well organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Patterson in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:
  • First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Travelling with a new hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
  • 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 suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
