How to survive the flight to Sanibel?
We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be zooming through the airport and seeing the best of Sanibel in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Sanibel?
Being organised before your flight will make your getaway to Sanibel a pleasure. We’ve compiled some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

  • Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don’t hold up the queue.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back online before you know it.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
