How to survive the flight to Cardinal?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Cardinal in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • It's easy --- first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Cardinal?
The answer is simple --- be organized. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Cardinal, here you come:
  • Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
  • Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
