How to survive the flight to West Des Moines?
We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you’ll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in West Des Moines in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

  • Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
  • Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few minutes, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices 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 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-close bag, you’re permitted to bring it with you on board.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can’t be taken on board. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
