How to survive the flight to Carbondale?
We’ve pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you’ll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Carbondale in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Carbondale?
Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Carbondale a piece of cake. Here are some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don’t worry, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Traveling with a new perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • There’s a good chance you’ll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors can’t be taken on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
