How to survive the flight to Modesto?
If you’re poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there’s no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your vacation in Modesto.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good book. It’s also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and pack a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Modesto?
It’s all about being organized. We’ve compiled some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Modesto, here you come:

  • Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don’t have to dig around for them.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
  • Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • It’s also possible you’ll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
  • 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 luggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
