How to survive the flight to Elsa?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Elsa could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Elsa?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Elsa a breeze. Check out our top tips for a speedy journey past security:

  • Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
