How to survive the flight to Ames?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Ames could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also recommended.
  • A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ames?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Ames a pleasure. Read through our useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, 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 need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
