Do you have any tips for my flight to Vail?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Vail in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and wear flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Vail?
The trick is to be well organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Vail in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

  • Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Travelling with your favourite cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
