How to survive the flight to Petal?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Petal could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We’ve put together some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch a few z’s, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
  • It’s likely you’ve heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some stretches in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Petal?
The trick is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Petal in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

  • Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
