Do you have any tips for my flight to Des Moines?
- First, put in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.
- While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.
- Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Des Moines?
- Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
- After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
- Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
- Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
- There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
- Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
