How to survive the flight to Cardinal?
Wherever you’re coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you’ve prepared well. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Cardinal vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you’ll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and bring a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
  • The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Cardinal?
Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Cardinal a pleasure. Read through our top tips for a swift journey through security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
  • There’s a good chance you’ll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
