Do you have any tips for my flight to Raleigh?
If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your holiday in Raleigh. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Raleigh?
It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Raleigh, here you come:

  • Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
