How to survive the flight to Washington?
We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you’ll be breezing through airport security and exploring Washington in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a magazine. You’ll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Washington?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Washington in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
