How to survive the flight to Rapid City?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Rapid City could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good book. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
  • Most travellers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rapid City?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Rapid City in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

  • Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to show at airport security.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren’t.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
